Nobody is above scandals, not even tongue speaking, fiery pastors. Many Nigerian pastors have been involved in one scandal or the other.
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
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
3. Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo
Also, in the month of June, 2019, Pastor Fatoyinbo was accused by Busola Dakolo, the wife of ace singer, Timi Dakolo of molesting her two twice while she was barely 16 years old. As usual, Fatoyinbo has denied without any concrete explanation and the case is in court. Several other women including one that is married also confided in journalists that the flamboyant cleric nicknamed the 'Gucci pastor' forcefully anointed her with his third leg while she was pregnant.
4. Sunday Adelaja
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
6. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
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
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.
8. Bishop Chris Kwakpovwe
Rita Ibeni, a member of Our Daily Manna/Manna Prayer Mountain Ministry, alleged that her pastor, Chris Kwakpovwe, made segxwal advances at her.
A recording of a telephone conversation purportedly between Kwakpovwe and Rita surfaced online.
The male voice was alleged to be that of the pastor who confessed love for Ibeni and expressed interest in having segxwal relations with her.
Reacting to the viral audio clip, the church has said that the voice in the recording does not belong to their pastor.
9. Pastor Timothy Omotoso
It is alleged in the 90-count charge that the accused, along with two accomplices, Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho lured young girls to his church in Durban. He once tried to escape justice by trying to sneak out of the country to Nigeria. The police tracked him down and arrested him while hiding at the airport toilet in South Africa.
10. Pastor Joshua Iginla
Iginla, the Senior Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, who spoke to his congregation during a Sunday service, said when his wife brought an illegitimate child into their home, he forgave her, but that she refused to forgive him when he had his own child with another woman.
It was also in the news that the self-proclaimed Prophet Joshua Iginla married Stella Zimasa Ndamase, (his baby Mama) who is pregnant with his second child. Iginla had announced that his marriage to Yemisi had crashed because he made the mistake of having a babymama.
The Prophet however forgot to add that he married his baby mama as far back as October 2014 in a Civil Marriage. In fact, it is reported that she is carrying a second pregnancy for him. The first child is named Rhema.
The Baby Mama Stella Zimasa Ndamase Iginla who is from South Africa is whispered to be ‘’so rich she does not know what to do with money.’’
11. Bishop Francis Wale Oke
The founder and presiding Bishop of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, also known as Christ Life Church admitted to sleeping with his secretary. Rumours have it that he impregnated her and she did many abortions for him.
Wale Oke was bold enough to make confessions about his sins before his congregation and that action caused a historic setback in his ministry.
