Early life

Iginla was born on 21 May 1969 to Muslim parents in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. He later converted to Christianity and subsequently became a Pentecostal pastor and televangelist.[2][3]

Personal life

In 2019, Iginla told his congregation that he and his wife had been promiscuous and had even had children outside marriage.[4][5] In an interview, his then-wife denied that she had ever engaged in adultery.[6][7] In May 2020, Business Post reported that Iginla had divorced his estranged wife and married Prophetess Stella.[8]

Private jet

In 2019, Iginla celebrated his birthday with a new private jet which the Nigerian daily newspaper Vanguard reported was necessary for his busy international preaching itinerary.[1]
