Rev Paul-Kayode Joash of Joash Ministries has been granted the bail of N10m over the alleged N306.1m theft leveled against him.

Joash Ministries is an organisation dedicated to helping individuals realize their fullest potential.

The organisation also described the report on Tribune Online published on October 30th, 2023 as false, insisting that “there is no evidence to suggest that any money was obtained through theft, false pretense or any other illegal means”.

Joash Ministries noted that it was committed to clearing Rev Paul-Kayode Joash of all baseless charges maliciously brought against him, as well as addressing the needs of all it’s candidates.

Joash revealed that one of their core services is helping individuals secure employment as health care assistant and carer in the UK.

The organisation explained that if there was unforeseen delay in processing the applications of outstanding candidates as originally planned, it made a commitment to refund.

The organisation also revealed its intentions to collaborate with Agodi Prison in advocating justice for those unjustly remanded.

“We hereby address the matter highlighted in the Tribune online on October 30th, 2023, concerning the alleged theft of N306.1 million. We vehemently deny these false allegations leveled against Rev Paul-Kayode Joash and his company. There is no evidence to suggest that any money was obtained through theft, false pretense, or any other illegal means.

One of our core services involves assisting individuals in securing employment as Health Care Assistants and Carers in the United Kingdom. While numerous candidates have successfully found work in the UK from Nigeria, we encountered delays with a care home and experienced changes in government regulations. Unfortunately, this resulted in an unforeseen delay in processing the applications of outstanding candidates as originally planned”, the organisation stated.

Joash Ministries said “In light of the circumstances, we made a commitment to refund the agency and service fees charged. We have initiated the refund process, albeit at a slower pace than anticipated due to pending refunds from our supplying partners.

Naturally, candidates may feel aggrieved and place pressure on their agents, leading to the involvement of the police and the levying of false allegations against Rev Paul-Kayode Joash”.

According to them, “We are fully committed to clearing Rev Paul-Kayode Joash of all baseless charges maliciously brought against him, as well as addressing the needs of our current candidates. This includes providing refunds to candidates requesting them and, most importantly, concluding the process of securing care jobs for our current candidates within the next few weeks.

We firmly believe that this is a transformative phase in which positive outcomes can arise from adversity. As a result of this case, we have taken steps to secure the bail release of 30 inmates at Agodi Prison and have also covered the WAEC/NECO examination fees for 15 inmates. We intend to collaborate with Agodi Prison in advocating for justice for those unjustly remanded”.
