We’ll Investigate The Homos*xuality Allegations Levelled Against Our Pastors – RCCG

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has come out to suspend two pastors following allegations of homos*xuality that spread across social media.

The church recently announced the suspension in a memo signed by Sunday Akande, its national overseer, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, a thorough investigation has started after the allegations against the pastors because the church’s doctrine will not allow or tolerate any act of homos’xuality.

Sunday added that the investigation would be conducted within two weeks, and a final decision would be reached.

His words, “This memo serves to inform you of serious allegations of homosexuality against…

In accordance with our mission’s commitment to upholding the teachings of the Bible, we must address these allegations with the utmost seriousness it deserves.

As you are aware, the doctrine of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) does not allow or tolerate any act of homosexuality. This stance is firmly rooted in biblical teachings, including but not limited to: Leviticus 18:22: ‘You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an bomination.’

1 Corinthians 6:9-10: Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality.
“In light of these allegations, you are now directed to conduct a thorough investigation.

Furthermore… and all others who are alleged are to be temporarily relieved from all of their responsibilities in all mission organs pending the outcome of this investigation, which is expected to be concluded within two weeks.

It is crucial that we handle this situation with care and integrity, and in accordance with our values as a church. Please ensure that the investigation is conducted confidentially and with respect for all parties involved.

Thank you for your cooperation.”
