EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Audio Exposes MFM Overseer Olukoya Pressuring Pastor To Make Wife Deny Supporting Alleged Church Abuse Victim

A leaked phone conversation has surfaced, featuring the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya.

In the recording, the cleric pressured one of his pastors in Atlanta, USA, to compel his wife, Mrs. Tolulope Onakpoya, to publicly deny giving financial or food assistance to an alleged church assault victim, Yewande Roberts.

According to the leaked audio, Mrs. Onakpoya had previously supported Yewande during a difficult period when both families lived in the same compound in Nigeria as MFM ministers.

Yewande, whose story of alleged church abuse following the death of her husband, Pastor Tope Roberts, has drawn national attention, had publicly acknowledged Mrs. Onakpoya’s kindness and generosity during her ordeal.

However, in the conversation, Pastor Olukoya is heard instructing Pastor Onakpoya to interrogate his wife about her relationship with Yewande and to “find out if she ever sent money” to her.

“Go and ask her and get back to me, that’s all,” the voice said. “Because the girl said it online that your wife is sending money to her. Go and find out whether she has ever sent money to that girl.”

Sounding uneasy, the Atlanta-based pastor repeatedly denied his wife’s involvement, claiming she “doesn’t have money” and “drives a church bus.”

“No, my wife doesn’t have money now, Daddy. Maybe a long time ago, but I’m not sure they have. Even she has not discussed anything about Yewande,” he said in the recording.

Sources close to Yewande told SaharaReporters that the call occurred shortly after she publicly expressed gratitude to Mrs. Onakpoya for her assistance during her most trying times. They alleged that Pastor Olukoya became uncomfortable with Yewande’s testimony and instructed the couple to release a video discrediting her claims.

“They refused to do the debunking video as Olukoya requested because they have the fear of God. That is highly commendable considering the consequences with Olukoya,” one source said.

Yewande Roberts, now an outspoken advocate against church abuse, has consistently accused MFM leadership of intimidation and attempts to silence her since she went public with her experiences.

SaharaReporters earlier published Yewande’s detailed account of alleged sexual harassment, psychological abuse, and the unlawful withholding of her late husband’s intellectual property by the MFM General Overseer.

Roberts, daughter of former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Director, Olatunde Disu, said she joined MFM while in school seeking spiritual guidance, but was instead subjected to disturbing experiences.

“He asked me if I was a virgin, and in my heart, I wondered what he wanted to do with that information,” she alleged.

She alleged that Olukoya routinely subjected her to invasive “deliverance sessions,” describing physical and emotional abuse.

“He told me to come to his office for prayers. He would slap my womb, insert his hands into my ears, touch my eyes, scrub my forehead, and strangulate my neck many times,” Yewande said.

She alleged that the cleric once hugged her inappropriately, adding that he “drew my bra from behind as if he wanted to remove it.”

Roberts’ late husband, Pastor Tope Roberts, was a promising gospel artist who won an MFM-organised music competition and was signed to the church’s record label.

Following his death, she alleged that Olukoya and MFM leadership seized his recorded songs, videos, and other creative materials, erasing all traces of his ministry from MFM’s platforms.

“They erased all his music ministrations from their social media pages,” she said. “Even the burial pictures and videos, which they handled, were never given to me. I have nothing to show my son about his father.”

She further alleged that when she uploaded three of her husband’s songs to YouTube, Olukoya personally called her and demanded that she remove them.

“He told me that if I didn’t remove the songs, he would stop sponsoring my son’s education,” Yewande alleged.

When she refused, she said the church began an online smear campaign against her.

Roberts also said she was branded a witch and accused of killing her husband.

“They called me names like ‘Emere Alakisa’ and ‘Emere Alashopinpo’, saying I ate my husband and drank his blood,” she recounted. “It broke me. I went into depression and have been undergoing therapy.”

She said harassment continued even after she left the church, with her social media accounts repeatedly hacked and deleted.

“They pulled down my Facebook page three times, my Instagram page four times, and even erased everything on my WhatsApp,” she said.

Roberts also recounted incidents of sexual harassment by other MFM pastors, including one who tried to molest her in a church residence and another who groped her under the pretext of helping her find accommodation.

“I reported him to Dr. Olukoya, but nothing was done until I had to move out of the church accommodation,” she said.

Despite years of alleged persecution, Roberts said she has refused to be silenced.

“This is eight years now, and Dr. Olukoya has refused to release my husband’s intellectual property,” she said. “I have moved on with my life, trusting that one day, God will fight for me.”
