According To Our Reporter, former armed robber turned evangelist Temitope Kolawole has revealed shocking details of his criminal past in an interview with The Punch.
Born in Ondo State but originally from Ekiti, Kolawole admitted targeting over 1,000 homes and churches during his years of crime, with a particular focus on Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) locations across Nigeria and neighboring countries.
He explained his choice was purely opportunistic, citing RCCG churches’ possession of money and valuable musical instruments.
Now an independent evangelist based in Ikorodu, Lagos, Kolawole preaches regularly in correctional centers, urging others to turn away from crime as he did in 2021.
