This is a concise list of Nigerian clerics that have been embroiled in chilling s*x scandals at different times.
Nobody is above scandals, not even tongue speaking, fiery pastors.
Many Nigerian pastors have been involved in one scandal or the other.
The most rampant is s*x scandals. One has to be careful when
jumping from church seeking counsel because of those addressed as men of
God are wolves in sheep’s clothing. There are still pastors out there
who are fulfilling their calling. The careers of most men even pastors
have been destroyed by women. It did not start today and will not end
today. Do not forget that Samson’s downfall was because of a woman.
Over the years, some Nigerian pastors have been victims of s*x
scandals. Here is a list of some of them who were at one time or the
other accused of engaging in illicit affairs.
1. Apostle Johnson Suleman
The latest pastor to be accused of having an intimate relationship
with a lady is Apostle Suleman, the founder of Omega Fire Ministries.
Social media went into a frenzy on Monday when a lady identified as
Stepahnie Otobo called out the fiery pastor, claiming he impregnated her
and later dumped her. She alleged that they both spent time alone in a
hotel where they had intercourse among others practices.
Apostle Suleman has denied the allegations which he said were
false. According to him, he has never met with the lady before even
though they had discussed about her plight in 2016.
2. Pastor Chukwuma Nkwocha
Nkwocha, the General Overseer of Tongue of Fire Restoration
Ministry, was arrested in 2016 for allegedly camping and defiling about
30 under-aged girls. The Lagos state command sprung into action after
receiving a report that the pastor with a church situated on Jacob Taiwo
Street Oshodi was harbouring some young girls and freely having
unlawful canal knowledge of them.
3. Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo
In 2013, a blogger identified as Ese Walter boldly came out to
accuse Pastor Fatoyinbo of COZA (Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly) of
having an affair with her. Ese, who was also a member of the church
claimed the man of God had an affair with her while in the UK. As if
Ese’s accusations were not enough, another lady, Franca E. who claimed
to be a victim also accused Fatoyinbo of the same thing. Addressing the
scandal, the man of God said he was well aware of the accusations and
subsequent uproar on social networks but that he would be ignoring it.
4. Sunday Adelaja
In 2016, the founder and senior pastor of the Embassy of God, an
evangelical-charismatic megachurch in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev was
enmeshed in an adultery scandal following allegations that he had
extramarital affairs with at least 20 women in his church.
Adelaja denied the allegations levelled against him which he said
was an attempt by some people to take over the church from him.
5. Dr Sign Fireman
In 2014, reports surfaced that the church’s General Overseer of
Perfect Christianity Mission, Aguda, Surulere, Lagos, Ofuche Ukoha aka
Dr. Sign Fireman, was involved in an alleged S*xual assault and killing
of a 12-year-old girl in Badagry. The incident made him popular and
almost tarnished his ministry.
6. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
In 2014, it came as surprise when report surfaced that the founder
of Believers Love World Ministry aka Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris and
his wife, Anita Oyakhilome, were getting porced. Anita who filed for
porce was said to have cited irreconcilable differences bordering on
alleged adultery and unreasonable behaviour.
However, the pastor, according to an elder of the church, denied
allegations of adultery and believes his wife was being influenced by
“bad friends” who were intent on destroying their home.
7. Chris Oyakhilome’s brother, Rev. Ken
Not long after the Pastor Chris porce saga, there was another
report that his brother Rev. Ken, allegedly impregnated a South African
lady who was a member of the Church in Randburg, Guateng, which is the
headquarters of Christ Embassy, South Africa.
His reported affair with the lady was said to be an “open secret”
among the parishioners. When the news about the woman’s pregnancy
started making rounds, church officials reportedly fudged the issue to
prevent scandal. Also, the pregnancy was reportedly aborted with the
knowledge of church leaders, report says.
