The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has suspended one of its pastors, Ayorinde AdeBello, and Deacon Oke Mayowa, from office over allegations of homosexuality against young people in the Church.
Naija News reports that this development comes after an Instagram blogger called out AdeBello and Mayowa, over alleged homosexuality in the Church and at the National level.
In an internal memo dated 28th of October, 2024 with Ref: RCCG/NO/s.04/13/vol.1 and titled: “Investigation and Suspension Regarding Allegations of Homosexuality,” addressed to Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration, the Church stated that its doctrine does not allow or tolerate any act of homosexuality.
The Church has also directed the Special Assistant to the General Overseer of Administration to thoroughly investigate the allegation within two weeks.
The memo, signed by RCCG National Overseer, Pastor Sunday Akande and copied to all National organs in the Church, stated that the situation must be handled with care and integrity and in accordance with church values.
The Church also directed pastor AdeBello to comply and relinquish all his positions in the Church, given the seriousness of the allegations, adding that predatory behaviour against those to whom the Church owes a duty of care is gravely unacceptable and will not be tolerated if found valid.
