Oluwasanmi submitted forged documents to obtain loans meant to support struggling businesses during the pandemic, which he then diverted for personal use, violating U.S. federal laws, Peoples Gazette reports.
The pastor used his three companies, Dayspring Property Incorporated, Dayspring Holdings, and Dayspring Transportation, to secure millions of dollars in fraudulent loans.
He was indicted on a 13-count charge of fraud and arrested in Cleveland in April, before being released on a $20,000 bail.
Oluwasanmi's questionable financial dealings also include a wire transfer of $221,880 in September 2020 to purchase a commercial property in Ohio.
The case against him is ongoing, with the FBI investigating the extent of his involvement in the fraud scheme.
According to the report, on October 26, 2021, he transferred $1 million in COVID-19 relief funds to a brokerage account belonging to Dayspring Transportation, his company.
Prosecutors have already seized approximately $620,000 from the Nigerian pastor and are seeking the forfeiture of both the confiscated sum and other assets acquired through fraudulent proceeds.
On April 5, 2024, the FBI seized $599,250 from Oluwasanmi’s Dayspring Transportation account with Fidelity Investments (ending in –5800). An additional $20,000 was confiscated from his Dayspring Property account (ending in –3548) at Key Bank on the same day.
Both his U.S. and Nigerian passports were seized to ensure his compliance with trial proceedings. His U.S. passport lists his name as Edward Olanrewaju Abiodun Oluwasanmi.
As part of his bail conditions, he faces immediate re-arrest if he fails to appear in court for his trial.

ReplyDeleteWhat going on, the Trump regime is going to expose alot
Trump fired the inspector general who could have prevented a lot of covid fraud. He basically gave billions of dollars out without anyone verifying the actual information they gave. When Biden got in, he reinstated the inspector general and they went through the disbursements and started to arrest a lot of people.
DeleteThere are other pastors too who got caught up.
Sad part is, Trump has returned and fired all the inspector generals so the rest of them will not be caught.
We and Fraud everywhere we go🥺

ReplyDeleteThis should serve as notice to all those who took Covid19 money and are balling with it in Nigeria and the US that the feds are very diligent and patient. It’s not over as the SBA will catch all of them. Including the nurse that threw a mega wedding party in Nigeria with Covid money.
ReplyDeleteThere was one Nigerian lady that was arrested for it. She received 2 million dollars. Young girl o!
DeleteWell, that’s the end except the already have the work all done. There’s no more inspector generals to review and forward anything to law enforcement. Trump don fire all of them
Covid money don hang them for throat....

Hello iya Boys
Man of God isonu....na only God know who dey serve am.
ReplyDeleteWahala full basket
ReplyDeleteHehehe, end time pastor indeed 🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteHe is not the only one involved oh. There are plenty of them, I mean plenty oh. Even the one that was encouraging me to register a company, that he has someone that will forge a tax record for the new company so I can apply for the fund. Both him and his mentors , all acclaimed pastors applied and got the said money. He told me he opened like 3 new companies and applied with them all , that he got like $30000 in one and waiting for the rest, that his is small because his company is new but his senior pastors who was among the initial applicants got like $350,000 , quickly used someone of the money to go complete his mega building in Nigeria. I listened, didn’t judge and ran this info by someone, a non Nigeria who has previously reoriented me about avoiding shady Africans. My in Nigeria has previously advised me to stay away from this person because of his tendency into criminal and fraudulent things. I have already have doubts about him and his many boastful lies and activities. First, this person that was always telling me about coming back to our childhood church has the mind to tell me him and other church leader’s forged documents to commit fraud,my little developing trust in Nigerians went to almost non existent level existent, we are all new oh , all about 3 , 4 years then. I thought we have left our Nigeria past behind to start a new life with better opportunities and different mindset, but no. See ehn, ifyou leave Nigeria and didn’t change your circles, you are still on a long thing. Their mind is totally corrupted. You have to be a strong person to say no and live your life right.
