A Nigerian man has stirred controversy online after accusing senior leaders of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), including its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, of allegedly making life difficult for him since 2023.
In a viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter), the man claimed he had been a devoted member of the church for several years before his situation allegedly changed after he joined the workers’ unit in Ibadan.
He stated that he became a member of RCCG in 2013 while still in higher institution and remained actively involved in church activities. However, he alleged that over time, he began noticing certain practices he personally disagreed with, though he chose to overlook them.
“There has been an issue going on between me and RCCG since 2023. They told different kinds of lies and tried to manipulate people against me,” he said in the video.
“I joined the church in 2013 while I was in school. Even though I saw some things that were not godly, I ignored them because they didn’t affect me then.”
The man further alleged that his challenges within the church began after he experienced financial difficulties and was no longer able to contribute as before.
He also claimed that a wealthy member of the church once expressed interest in assisting him financially, but the plan allegedly fell through after a pastor accused him of internet fraud and theft.
“A rich man in the church wanted to help me, but the pastor allegedly told him I was into yahoo and stealing,” he claimed.
“Since then, I started facing issues in different Redeemed churches. I later realised they allegedly circulated my picture and damaged my reputation everywhere,” he added.
His claims have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users calling for proof while others raised concerns about possible internal disputes within religious organizations.
At the time of this report, RCCG and Pastor Enoch Adeboye have not issued any public response to the allegations.
