According to Islands Business, Reverend Dr Afereti Uili is believed to have been dismissed by church elders on Tuesday night.
While the reasons for his dismissal remain sketchy, Uili is understood to have invoked the ire of elders by refusing to sign payments associated with renovations to the church headquarters in Apia.
Uili confirmed his removal to close friends and alleged that a group of senior church members had plotted his downfall for several months.
