Pasuma Was Never Invited To Our Church’ — RCCG Denies Viral Flyer

The controversial flyer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos Province 20, Lagos Island Family with picture of fuji maestro, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma has been proven to be hand work of enthusiast printer.

According to information made available to ENCOMIUM Weekly on our visit to the parish on Sunday, September 27, 2015, located on Martins Street, opposite Oluwole Car Park, Lagos.

It was the printer that made that mistake, nobody instructed him to place pictures of Pasuma and other artistes on the flyer. More so, we had not even seen the flyer before it went viral on social media. I guess someone must have seen it with the printer and smart it with phone, thereon via social media. As a matter of fact, the flyer was rejected and destroyed immediately, so, it was surprising to now hear it was on the internet. The outreach will still hold as planned, but not with all the misleading information on the internet,” the source said.

On the alleged suspended pastor, ENCOMIUM Weekly was reliably informed that Pastor Toyin Ogundipe was never in connection to the controversial flyer neither was he affected in any way. We further gathered that Pastor Ogundipe is a professor of Botany, a former Dean of the School of Post-graduate studies and currently the Director of Academic Planning (the Academic and Research unit of the University of Lagos).

“The only thing I can say is that, National (the Governing Council of The Redeemed Christian Church of God) has resolved the issue, Prof. (referring to Prof. (Pastor) Toyin Ogundipe) was not affected at all. He was our former Area Pastor as well as Zonal Pastor until March this year. Our area headquarter had been carved out of his area long before this issue came up. So, it does not have any connection with him at all.

“At the last Holy Ghost service in Camp, Prof. was among the pastors who ministered with Daddy G.O (referring to Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the general overseer), if he is truly suspended, you cannot see him on the altar. He is a revered man of God who enjoys the goodwill of the vast members of the church and the public.”
