Ex-RCCG teens pastor under probe over sexual misconduct claims

Published

The Redeemed Christian Church of God has commenced an internal disciplinary process over sexual misconduct allegations circulating on social media against former National Teens President, Adefolarin Fowosere, popularly known as Pastor Ade Fire.

The 22-year-old once served as the lead pastor of RCCG The Revival House, a church focused on teenagers and young adults.

Fowosere was also associated with the church’s teens ministry.

The allegations, which surfaced on X and TikTok in recent days, accused the youth pastor of sexual misconduct, abuse of pastoral authority, and exploitation involving multiple women.

According to PidomNigeria Online, Fowosere requested that our correspondent sent him a text message. 

Although he read the message on iMessage, he did not respond to the specific allegations.

A man who identified himself to PidomNigeria Online as Fowosere’s media spokesperson, Mr. Daniel, later contacted our correspondent and said the church was already handling the matter through its internal disciplinary process.

Daniel said: “The church is aware and it is being handled by the necessary authorities at the Redeemed camp.

“Ade Fire himself has been reporting to Mummy GO’s office for about a week or two, even before the social media discussions started.

“Every necessary unit concerned with the matter is involved. 

“The issue is on the desk of Mummy GO. 

“The authority of RCCG instructed him not to make any public statement for now. 

“Let’s await the truth.”

The church has yet to issue an official public statement on the allegations.

The claims, which have generated widespread reactions on social media, include allegations by several women accusing Fowosere of sexual misconduct and abuse while they were under his spiritual leadership.

One of the women, in a post on TikTok, alleged that Fowosere exploited his position as a spiritual leader to engage in inappropriate relationships with young women, among other claims. 

Similar allegations have also been shared by other social media users.

As of the time of filing this report, no law enforcement agency had announced criminal charges against Fowosere.

The church’s internal disciplinary process is expected to determine its position on the matter.
