Nigerian Pastor Allegedly Sleeps With Over 20 Female Members In Ukraine
churches, Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations Church
in Kiev, Ukraine, is under fire to step down after reports surfaced of
his adultery with his members.
According to Sunday Punch, the Pastor, in an e-mail, denied the
rumours, and attributed labelled it an attempt by some people to take
over the church from him.
"That is not true at all; I have read what people are saying about me.
The funny thing is that nobody asked me for any information; no
interview was granted to anyone," the mail read.
"It is actually an old story that was cooked up by some disgruntled
members of my leadership team when they knew of my decision to hand
over the church because of my plan to return to Africa."
The rumour had apparently became publicised after a statement appeard
on the website of Russian Union of Christians Evangelical Faith, where
it was stated that Pastor Adelaja confessed to having committed
adultery with his female parishioners at a meeting of pastors and
board of elders of the church. The statement also revealed that the
pastor claims he has repented.
According to a letter posted on the website of the Spiritual Council
Russian Union of Christians Evangelical Faith (Pentecostals), written
by one Apostle Toff Ulissis, a clergyman said to be providing
spiritual care to the Nigerian pastor, Adelaja was urged to "seek
psychiatric help in Kiev and the United States."
Ulissis said, "Pastor Sunday mentioned that he had a relationship with
20 or 30 women; probably, the number was more than he could remember…
People are very sorry about the current situation with the pastor and
wanted him to have psychiatric help.
"I made it clear that my aim is not to destroy either the Embassy of
God… I wanted to make sure that everything has been done to these
women and the couples have received care, reconciliation and redeeming
restoration."
However, the Pastor refused all advice, saying no one could dictate to
him how to act or behave.
According to Anatoly Belonozhko, a former minister of the church who
resigned due to the scandal,
"We, as church elders, began to create new projects and exercises to
heal and restore the church, a new structure, and of course, help our
pastor. But Pastor Sunday in writing categorically rejected our help,
humiliating us and saying that we have no power to tell him what to do
and how to do it and that he knows how and what to do."
Pastor Adelaja however maintains his stance of innocence. According to
him, "t's a leadership tussle from those whose desires for church
leadership were not granted. I'm happy with my wife. The church here
in Ukraine is doing well. So I thank God that their stories, though
believed by some without confirmation, is still false nevertheless."
