Alleged Homosexuality In Church: RCCG Asks Public To Submit Evidence Against Suspended Pastors

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has issued a dedicated phone number and email address for church members and the general public to submit evidence against its suspended pastors accused of homosexuality.

Daily Bells reports that the church on Tuesday suspended two of its church leaders, Pastor Ayorinde AdeBello and Deacon Oke Mayowa in a memo dated October 28, 2024.

The memo, signed by Sunday Akande, RCCG’s national overseer, ordered a thorough investigation into the allegations and temporarily relieved the accused individuals of their responsibilities within the church.

As part of its investigation into allegations of homosexuality against two pastor, the church 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, after which, emphasized that only substantiated evidence will be reviewed.

It would be recalled that one of the suspended pastors, Ayorinde AdeBello, had denied the allegation of homosexuality via his social media page saying that there’s no evidence against him.

According to Ayorinde AdeBello, he has never engaged in sodomy with male teenagers as he had never demanded sex from any male as payment or gratification in order to give them assistance, platforms or positions.

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.

According to him, his accusers only hide under anonymity.

He noted that they have no evidence of the alleged crime other than a screenshot in a WhatsApp group.
