What we found
We searched for "Citadel of Praise Bible Church" in Ojo and across Nigeria, and found no listing, page, map entry or news mention matching that exact name in Ojo, Lagos. The closest Nigerian results carry different names and are in different places, such as an RCCG parish page called "Rccg Citadel of Praise Ikotun Lagos - LP85" on Facebook, based at Obalanlege Street, Ikotun, Lagos, a gospel music group page, Citadel Of Praise - IBC BAND in Ikoyi, Lagos, and a directory entry for "Citadel of Praise, Eket" in a Nigerian Pentecostal church list. Other "Citadel of Praise" results belong to churches in the United States, in Detroit and Arizona (citadelofpraise.org, citadelaz.com). We saw no scam or fraud reports, complaints or warnings tied to this name, and the only contact given is a free Gmail address, which carries no verification value. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The name "Citadel of Praise Bible Church" fits a normal independent Nigerian congregation, and a pastor with a free Gmail address is completely usual for a small church in the Ojo area of Lagos, so nothing here looks like a business, a joke entry or a group outside the historic Christian faith. However, our own web search turned up no page, map listing or directory entry for this church in Ojo, with the closest matches being differently named chu
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
