See Photos Of The Exquisite Private Jet Reportedly Acquired By Pastor T.B Joshua

The general overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN),Pastor T.B Joshua, has reportedly acquired a luxurious private jet -Gulfstream G550 aircraft which costs about $60 Million. The jet is believed to be the most expensive of the four owned by Nigerian pastors such as Pastor David Oyedepo (Bombardier Challenger 604), Pastor Enoch Adeboye (Gulfstream GIV), and Ayo Oritsejafor (Bombardier Challenger 601) who are also jet owners.

Interior of a G550 jet

 Pastor TB Joshua’s jet has already started making the rounds. In June, it left the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos on a whirlwind of South America, departing north from there to Kentucky in the United States.

The jet, which has US registration number N131LK, was built in 2010.  It was delivered to its first user in 2013 before making it to TB Joshua early this year.  SaharaReporters learned that the jet made a voyage to Nigeria in December 2013, as the Bank of Utah was apparently pitching it to Pastor TB Joshua.  The man of God reportedly asked to see it and bless it before finally taking delivery.

It could cost up to $3 million to maintain the jet annually, depending on how heavily it is used.   

Sources at the church told our correspondents that Pastor Joshua claims the jet was paid for by at least eight African Heads of State in 2014.  It was first kept in Israel before the tragic church collapse in September in which 116 persons, mostly South Africans, were killed.

When SaharaReporters reached Pastor Joshua, he denied owning a private jet.  Instead, he said he frequently charters private jets because he travels extensively, noting, for instance, that he has an oncoming trip to Argentina.

His claim runs contrary to information from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), which claimed that N131LK is on record as belonging to Pastor TB Joshua through SCOAN.

"What the Bank of Utah does is to help non-US citizens act as agents to purchase aircraft using US financing,” a source at NCAA told SaharaReporters.
