Pastor Ayorinde AdeBello, recently suspended by the RCCG over allegations of misconduct, publicly denied accusations of inappropriate behavior with male teenagers.
AdeBello stated on Instagram that his comments in a viral WhatsApp group chat were misinterpreted, explaining the discussion was about male health and self-esteem.
He emphasized he has never sought personal favors from anyone in exchange for assistance, asserting his prolonged silence had been mistaken for guilt. RCCG is currently investigating the claims, which the church firmly condemns.
“I have NEVER had sex with Mr Jedidiah or proposed sex 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 sex with male teenagers.”
