Suspended RCCG Pastor, Iluyomade resigns

Information reaching the OsunReporters News has it that there are strong indications that a former Regional Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, City of David, Region 20, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, and his wife, Dr. Siju Iluyomade, have resigned as pastor of the church.

According to reports, the resignation followed his refusal to serve his three months suspension and transfer to another parish in Ebute Meta.

Reports revealed that Iluyomade’s resignation has not been accepted by the governing council of the Church.

While speaking on the development, a source in the RCCG anonymously said: “Since he is serving a suspension, the resignation has not been accepted by the governing council. The council will not meet until August when the suspension will lapse. The church has an exit procedure for pastors of his calibre.”

OsunReporters News recalls that Pastor Iluyomade was transferred from RCCG Region 20 following the controversy that trailed the celebration of his wife’s birthday at the time the church was mourning the death of former CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe.

However, a new minister, Pastor Charles Kpandei has resumed as the new senior pastor of the region on Sunday, June 9, 2024.

Meanwhile, KPMG Nigeria, a global network of professional firms that provides Audit, Tax and Advisory services is said to have been consulted to investigate a possible misappropriation in the RCCG City of David’s finance.

At the time of filing this report, no official response from the RCCG leadership on the alleged resignation.
