Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, a suspended cleric of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has launched a new ministry, sparking widespread debate within religious circles. The development comes amidst his suspension from the RCCG following allegations of misconduct.
The new church, reportedly named “Triumphant Assembly,” was inaugurated with an elaborate ceremony attended by supporters and well-wishers. Addressing the congregation, Pastor Iluyomade expressed his commitment to fostering spiritual growth and community development through his new platform.
“This is a new beginning, a divine mandate to serve God and humanity,” he stated during the service.
The pastor’s suspension by RCCG, which cited alleged violations of church protocols, remains a contentious topic. While the church leadership has not disclosed the specifics of the allegations, sources close to the matter indicate that it involves administrative and doctrinal issues.
Critics have questioned the timing of the new church’s establishment, accusing Iluyomade of undermining RCCG’s authority. However, his supporters argue that his new initiative is a testament to resilience and divine calling.
As reactions continue to pour in, religious analysts suggest that the incident could have broader implications for church governance and accountability in Nigeria. Neither Pastor Iluyomade nor RCCG officials have responded to further requests for comment regarding the ongoing controversy.
The unfolding situation has drawn significant public attention, with many awaiting RCCG’s next move and the potential impact of Iluyomade’s new ministry on his legacy.
