The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has established a dedicated phone number and email address for church members and the general public to submit information as part of its investigation into allegations of homosexuality against two church officials.
On Tuesday, it was reported that Pastor Ayorinde AdeBello and Deacon Oke Mayowa had been suspended due to claims of homosexual misconduct involving underage church members.
The church has directed the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration to thoroughly investigate the claims within two weeks.
In a statement on Tuesday, signed by the church’s National Overseer, Pastor Sunday Akande, and titled “RCCG Addresses Allegations Against Youth Ministers,” the church encouraged anyone with relevant information to come forward.
“We encourage anyone with pertinent evidence that could assist our investigation to come forward. Please note 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 [Administration] via rccgadm@gmail.com or 09039000700. Your cooperation will reinforce our commitment to justice and ensure a thorough resolution,” he said.
He stated that the church is conducting a comprehensive investigation into these claims.
“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 or 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.
