In the letter titled: “Investigation and Suspension Regarding Allegations of Homosexuality,” the National Overseer informed of serious allegations of homosexuality made against Pastor Ayorinde Ade Bello and Deacon Oke Mayowa.
“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,” the letter reads.
Pastor Akande referenced Leviticus 18:22: “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an bomination,” and 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 imnmoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,” as ground for the direction.
“In light of these allegations, you are now directed to conduct a thorough investigation,” the letter reads.
Further to this, the church directed Pastor AdeBello, Deacon Mayowa and other accused persons to be temporarily relieved from all of their responsibilities in all mission organs pending the outcome of this investigation.
The exercise is expected to be concluded within two weeks.
The letter however mandated the probe to be handled “with care and integrity, and in accordance with our values as a church.”
It further urged those saddled with the task to ensure that the investigation is conducted confidentially and with respect for all parties involved.
