Ayyubade Adebello’s Family Fights Back Against Baseless Allegations
Ayyubade Adebello, a suspended pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has been subject to damaging rumors and unverified claims of homosexuality on a popular blog, Gistlover. His family has taken a stand, filing a formal petition against the blog, accusing it of publishing unfounded and harmful allegations that have already caused emotional distress and put Adebello’s safety at risk.
The disturbing allegations emerged on Gistlover, which broke that Adebello had allegedly engaged in sexual relationships with male teenagers in exchange for career advancement. This heinous claim has had severe consequences: RCCG’s internal memo on October 28, 2024, suspended Adebello and another pastor, pending a full investigation.
Adebello has denied these claims, asserting, “I never engaged in sodomy with male teenagers.” He chose to speak out due to the widespread speculation and misconception that his initial silence was an admission of guilt. Adebello’s family petition highlights the lack of credible evidence supporting these allegations, emphasizing their harmful impact on Adebello’s personal and professional life.
The family hopes that a thorough and fair investigation will set the record straight, restoring Adebello’s good name and clearing his reputation of the baseless and damaging claims made against him.
