An Open Letter to President Donald J. Trump
Dear Mr. President,
As you prepare to send troops into Nigeria to protect Christians from relentless persecution and killings, I humbly appeal for your help in investigating and curbing the excesses of Dr. D.K. Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM).
I spent nearly two decades in this church, where many dark truths were hidden from members. Dr. Olukoya runs the church like a mafia organization — controlling lives, silencing dissent, and using fear to maintain power.
Over the years, he has allegedly terrorized numerous members. Those who dared to expose or confront his sexual misconduct toward young girls and vulnerable women have faced imprisonment, intimidation, or multiple lawsuits designed to crush them.
I currently reside in the United States and am fighting the fifth lawsuit filed against me by his church simply for speaking out. They even attempted to have me jailed here through two fabricated criminal cases — both of which I won in court.
Dr. Olukoya enjoys protection from Nigerian authorities, having reportedly funded the campaign of the Lagos State Governor. With this influence, he manipulates the police and the judiciary to harass and silence anyone who leaves the church or questions his authority. I have personally paid legal fees and bail for several pastors and members who have been unjustly detained on his orders. Some who resisted him have even lost their lives under suspicious circumstances.
Moreover, MFM pastors transferred abroad often act as his agents, spreading his oppressive practices beyond Nigeria. Several of them are now being used to persecute me internationally through a coordinated series of lawsuits aimed at silencing my voice.
Mr. President, I truly believe that your renewed focus on global religious freedom and the protection of persecuted Christians is an answer to our prayers. Please, help us investigate this matter and bring an end to the tyranny being perpetrated in the name of God.
Respectfully,
Funke Ashekun
