RCCG Suspends Senior Pastor, Iluyomade Over Wife’s Birthday Party After The Death Of Herbert Wigwe

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG has reportedly suspended the Senior Pastor of the City of David parish in Victoria Island, Lagos State who goes by the name, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade.

It could be recalled that his wife, Siji Iluyomade, on February 18, 2024, caught the attention of the public after her colourful 60th birthday which came shortly after the death of former CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, a famous member of the church.

A video clip from the birthday party showed a legendary Nigerian singer, Flavour N’abania, serenading her with his hit songs, such as Ada Ada, Berna and Adamma.

This action triggered a lot of people as netizens took to their social media handles, questioning the presence of a secular singer at a party hosted by a pastor and his wife.

Information circulating on Monday says that the Governing Council of the church, after deliberating on the matter, suspended Pastor Iluyomade for three months.

Also, sources from the church revealed that Pastor Idowu Iluyomade has since been replaced by Pastor Charles Kpandei of RCCG Resurrection Parish of Region 11 of the church. He resumed on Sunday.

The sources confirmed that “it was not Pastor Adeboye that suspended him. The governing council decided to suspend him. I think it’s a decision in the right direction.

Though some believe it is coming late. They needed to investigate some of the things people were saying against him and the church.”
