Media personality Daddy Freeze has advised property owners to be cautious about renting their houses or vacant land to churches, alleging that some congregations have a history of refusing to vacate rented properties.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the broadcaster made the remarks in a video shared on social media, where he claimed that certain churches occupy rented properties for years before attempting to take ownership.

According to Daddy Freeze, the warning is based on his family’s personal experience.
“Stop renting out your house to churches. They pay better than most tenants but they will never leave, and after a while, they want to take over your property. That is their modus operandi. Most churches do this. It has happened to my dad before,” he said.
He also advised property owners against leasing vacant land to churches, arguing that such assets should be preserved for future generations rather than being handed over to religious organisations.
“If you rent your empty land to a church, just know that you’ve used it as tithe and offering. Your property is for your children to use, not for pastors to give to their own children to inherit,” he added.
Backing his argument with biblical references, Daddy Freeze maintained that church buildings should not be regarded as the “house of God.” He cited passages including Acts 7:48 and Acts 17:24, which state that God does not dwell in temples built by human hands.
The media personality’s comments have since sparked conversations on social media, with supporters and critics divided over his views on churches occupying rented properties and the interpretation of the biblical passages he referenced.
