The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has called on the public with relevant evidence against its pastors accused of homosexuality to present them for investigation.
In a memo dated October 28, 2024, the church announced the indefinite suspension of two youth ministers pending the outcome of the investigations against them.
The memo, signed by Sunday Akande, RCCG’s national overseer, ordered a thorough investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations.
Akande emphasized that the church’s doctrine does not tolerate or allow any act of homosexuality, citing biblical references.
In a statement, according to ChurchTimes, the RCCG urged people with relevant evidence against the pastors to come forward.
The church also provided an email address (rccgadm@gmail.com) and phone number (09039000700) for submitting information. It emphasized that only substantiated evidence will be reviewed.
Ayorinde AdeBello, one of the accused pastors, earlier denied the allegation of homosexuality.
He said he has never engaged in sodomy with male teenagers.
The pastor said his prolonged silence was misconstrued as an “admission of guilt”, prompting his response.
AdeBello also clarified that a viral WhatsApp screenshot being circulated was misquoted and taken out of context.
He claimed the conversation was actually about male reproductive health and self-esteem within a teenagers’ WhatsApp group.
