- Iluyomade was said to have been suspended for three months by the Governing Council of the church
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has suspended Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, the Senior Pastor of the City of David parish of the church.
Iluyomade, who is also the head of the Apapa Family of the RCCG, was reportedly suspended over the weekend.
Iluyomade was said to have been suspended for three months by the Governing Council of the church. A panel has also been set up to investigate some of the allegations against him and the parish.
A top pastor in the church said the decision to suspend Iluyomade was a response to the public outcry against the extravagant birthday party of his wife shortly after the death of former CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe.
Iluyomade has since been replaced by Pastor Charles Kpandei of RCCG Resurrection Parish of Region 11 of the church.
Kpandei resumed at the City of David on Sunday, June 2 and was given a cold welcome.
