RCCG Excommunicates Pastor Caught Sleeping With Member’s Wife In Ondo

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has excommunicated one of its pastors, Gideon Bakare who was caught trying to sleep with a member’s wife in Akure, Ondo State.

Bakare was, in a viral video, caught sitting half naked with a woman who is described as a wife of a member of the church.

“Bakare has not only tainted his personal reputation but has portrayed the Church in a bad light,” RCCG spokesperson, Olaitan Olubiyi said in a statement on Wednesday.

Olubiyi announced that the RCCG pastor has officially been excommunicated and relieved of all his ministerial duties in the mission.

The statement read: “The Redeemed Christian Church of God has excommunicated Mr Gideon Bakare and relieved him of all ministerial duties in the Mission.

“Bakare, who was an Assistant Pastor in the Church was recently accused of attempted act of adultery with a woman in her matrimonial home in Akure, Ondo State.

“The Church dissociated itself from such immoral act of Mr Bakare and described it as being completely contrary to the core values, doctrines, beliefs and practices of the RCCG and the undiluted word of God.

“The Church, after reviewing the report of her investigation, noted that by his conduct, Bakare has not only tainted his personal reputation but has portrayed the Church in a bad light.

”Mr Bakare has therefore been directed to return all official items in his custody and stay off all associated connections with the Mission with immediate effect.”
