Foluke Adeboye, wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared how her family narrowly escaped death after receiving poisoned food on New Year’s Day.
Speaking in a video to church members, the 77-year-old recalled that the food was part of several gifts delivered to their home. However, sensing something was wrong, she instructed that it be given to the dogs instead.
She said, “Somebody on one of the New Year Day brought food to our house. Of course, so many people had been coming in, going, and eating. I just entered into the kitchen and asked who owned this food. They said a person brought it. I looked at the food and asked them to give it to the dogs.”
According to her, “One woman who came from London was looking at me, and she almost abused me but because I’m a mother that’s why she couldn’t abuse me immediately. But in an hour’s time, the gateman brought the news that the dog has died.”
Foluke warned that if anyone in the household had eaten the food, the outcome would have been disastrous. “Imagine that on a New Year Day somebody in the house of Daddy G.O ate that food, or about three or four people ate it. What will be the news?”
She urged Christians to be discerning and cautious when receiving gifts, especially during festive seasons.
