Cleric threatens legal action against persons linking him with US visa job

The lead pastor of the Resurrected Assembly (GROM) Worldwide, Prize Aluko, has threatened to institute a legal action against persons behind a website or portal in the name of “Carer Visa Sponsorship Jobs in the United States of America (USA).”

Aluko, in a statement issued and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja, said he had no relationship or affiliation with any website or portal under such a name.

An unidentified group was alleged to have published the picture of the clergyman on a portal, “Careers Portal,” with the title “Carer Visa Sponsorship Jobs in the United States.”

The said portal was said to contain information on 45, 000 visa openings with work permits available to interested individuals ready to work as carers in the US with no agent fee.

Reacting, Aluko distanced himself and the church from the said website and portal while expressing shock at the usage of his picture in the publication.

He described the act as an embarrassment to both the church and himself.

The cleric urged members of the public to disregard any such message and to be “aware of scammers and fraudulent transactions on that platform.”

He said the church would not hesitate to take the legal action necessary against those behind the act if his picture was not immediately pulled down from the platform.
