Pastor Ayorinde AdeBello, recently suspended by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has denied allegation of homos3xuality.
In an Instagram post, AdeBello addressed the claims, with explanation that his initial silence was misconstrued as admission of guilt, prompting his response.
In his statement, he denied demanding s3x from males for assistance or positions, stating God is the sole authority in granting positions and platforms.
AdeBello expressed disappointment at the misrepresentation of his words on WhatsApp, taken out of context to portray him falsely.
He wrote in a statement: “In the past few days, some allegations were made against me and some others via a blog on social media known as Gist Lover.
“I had wanted to respond immediately when it was brought to my attention, but I was advised not to, as I was not the only one named, and all of us may have been mentioned to drive engagement on the blog.
“However, as these allegations have escalated to criminal claims, I am compelled to respond as my prolonged silence has been misconstrued as an admission of guilt.”
He continued, “I have NEVER demanded s3x from any male as payment or gratification to give them assistance, platforms or positions. God is the only king-maker, the only One who can raise and erase kings, and give positions and platforms.
“I have NEVER had s3x with (*******) or proposed s3x to him for any reason.
“The questions in the screenshot were asked during a conversation in a male teenager WhatsApp group where discussions regarding Male Reproductive Health and self-esteem took place.
“The teenagers were taught about the right hygiene for reproductive health, the right kind of underwear to buy, and that the girth and length determine the underwear size. I also explained that their sizes should not affect their self-esteem and that they are perfectly and uniquely created by God.
“It is disheartening to see that the screenshot message has now been mischievously quoted out of context to portray me as someone who has s3x with male teenagers.”
RCCG’s suspension letter, signed by National Overseer Sunday Akande, cited serious homos3xuality allegations and ordered a thorough investigation.
