Controversies.
A BBC Panorama investigation accused Adegboyega, and other leaders of the church of financially exploiting members of the church. Panorama interviewed members of the church who accused the church and suggested Adegboyega be held accountable.
Panorama later released a video of Adegboyega, quoted to say he believed it was "no big deal2 for members of the church to give at least £1,000 a month to the church, and that he needed to make £1 million monthly. A member of the church, Nino claimed he was asked for £20,000 by Adegboyega, who said he needed it for an investment. While the church denied these allegations, Adegboyega declined an interview with BBC Panorama.<br>
In January 2020, his church was accused of financial exploitation and fraud by Croydon North MP Steve Reed, but as at February 2020, the police said they would not launch a criminal enquiry.
