RCCG Church Calls On Nigerians For Evidences On Homosexuality Allegations Against Its Two Pastors


The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has invited the public to submit evidence as part of its investigation into allegations of homosexuality against two of its church leaders.

The church said it has established a reporting channel for and the public to provide evidence related to the ongoing investigation. The channels provided include sending emails via [email protected] or 09039000700.

SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that Pastor Ayorinde AdeBello and Deacon Oke Mayowa had been suspended from their positions following allegations of homosexual misconduct involving young church .

RCCG National Overseer, Pastor Sunday Akande, confirmed the suspension in a memo dated October 28, 2024, which SaharaReporters obtained, stated that AdeBello and Mayowa had been temporarily relieved of their church responsibilities.

It had also been reported that the church has given the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on istration two weeks to thoroughly investigate the allegations.

Late Tuesday evening, SaharaReporters reported that AdeBello had issued a statement denying allegations of homosexuality.

He broke his silence on Instagram, clarifying that his initial silence was misinterpreted as an ission of guilt. He emphatically denied the allegations, seeking to clear his name and restore his reputation.

However, the church has invited anyone with useful information on the alleged atrocious act to come forward.

A statement by RCCG’s National Overseer, Pastor Sunday Akande, and titled “RCCG Addresses Allegations Against Youth Ministers,” the church said, “We encourage anyone with pertinent evidence that could assist our investigation to come forward".

He, however, noted that only substantiated evidence directly related to "this case will be considered; other submissions will not be reviewed.

“All evidence should be forwarded to the Special Assistant to the General Overseer [istration] via [email protected] or 09039000700. Your cooperation will reinforce our commitment to justice and ensure a thorough resolution,” he said.

Insisting that the church is conducting a comprehensive investigation into these claims, Akande announced that the youth ministers had been placed on indefinite suspension and removed from all ministerial duties until all the allegations were fully addressed.

“As a precautionary measure, the Youth Ministers have been placed on indefinite suspension and removed from all ministerial duties until we can fully address these allegations,” he added.

He affirmed that RCCG was founded on principles of holiness, a commitment reflected in all its teachings and practices.

“We are dedicated to transparency and will not tolerate any actions that contradict our core values nor cover up wrongful conduct.

“We appreciate any assistance in this matter and ask that individuals or groups with tangible evidence provide the necessary details,” the statement stated.

So, on what basis were they suspended if there are no evidences yet?

Ftc

After embarrassing them…so you don't even have any evidence against them and the church has already dismissed them based on allegations from a faceless blog…SMH

The speed with which the Church Management called for evidence against the RCCG pastors they already suspended shows that sexual violence against women is systemic and deliberately ignored by those in power.


If a girl/lady alleges rape, the suspected pastor is usually not relieved of his position like the Krest-pastor whose Church is still filled to full capacity today. Most male commentaries would accuse the females of lying by default.

Most men hate sexual violence perpetuated against them but care less if a woman is a victim.

Very good and Necessary.

There's no smoke without fire

There was no evidence all those while?

Make them carry them go the scammer adeboye make him use him hand investigate their yansh

They say they worship a god that sees in secret
They say their god that sees in secret drinks tea and talks with them every day.

yet they want evidence from people about what the guy does in secret.

Why not ask the god that sees in secret to show you or tell you what the young man does in secret

.

Noted.

Ok

As a proud atheist and am proud of it, Religion is a scam, Religion has brought nothing but destruction to the world. For those wey carry religion for head, always that "you are human first before religion happen to you"

The fact that they’ve been accused is a good enough basis to suspend pending thorough investigations. That’s how it is done.

If no evidence is put forward, the suspension must be lifted and the accs must be prosecuted.

But if I were the pastors, I will resign

These nonsense people should goan seedown!

It is due process.
You can't be investigating someone while the person is still holding the office.
Same way the member of House was suspended pending investigation and the MP in UK was also suspended pending the result of investigation.
This is the process globally.

If no evidence is presented, then those behind these allegations should be held able. Social media should be a tool for connection, not for oppression or damaging people’s reputations. I’m not claiming whether he is involved in homosexuality or not, but every allegation should be ed by evidence.

Yes that was the right thing to do

No evidence yet... So the suspension was based on jst hearsay, rumour, or an allegation...
Church self can b funny sometimes.. like d parish boy that was beaten blue black on allegation of stealing church money only for the real culprit to eventually confess...
So so lame

I would have advised that The RCCG get Private Investigators on this issue.
People who would actually carry out the investigation without sentiments.

Because truth be said " I know brother so and so, he can't do such a thing will come into this investigation"

So Redeem Church don turn court wey dey it evidence? What if these pastors sue the church for libel abi na wetin dem dey call am?

if gistlover no hold evidence, how dare he/she come dey do cho cho cho. Gislover must provide evidence, no be to dey throw accusation upandan

All these Omoluabi people and homosexuality sef.
I'm sure oduduwa was gay too.

I would be very surprised if any evidence surfaces.
Gistlover cannot be taken serious.

Also state the deadline for the bringing of evidence..after that date and no evidence, reinstate the pastors

The boldness at which some people type gibberish about the church of God is appalling. Some are even suggesting that the pastor's should be permanently dismissed, and law enforcement agents should take up the matter when the issue has not been substantiated. Anyone that has proof. Step forward. If that bolt driver didn't have evidence the case would have been defamation against him. I shake my head for this generation wallahi.
