Gideon Bakare, a Pastor of a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)
in Akure, Ondo state capital, has been excommunicated after being caught
while trying to sleep with a member’s wife.
In a statement released by RCCG spokesperson Olaitan Olubiyi on
Wednesday July 8, it was gathered that Bakare was suspended
for attempting adultery. He was also accused of putting the church in a
bad light.
The statement read;
“The Redeemed Christian Church of God has excommunicated Mr Gideon
Bakare and relieved him of all ministerial duties in the Mission.“Bakare, who was an Assistant Pastor in the Church was recently
accused of attempted act of adultery with a woman in her matrimonial
home in Akure, Ondo State.“The Church dissociated itself from such immoral act of Mr Bakare and
described it as being completely contrary to the core values,
doctrines, beliefs and practices of the RCCG and the undiluted word of
God.“The Church, after reviewing the report of her investigation, noted
that by his conduct, Bakare has not only tainted his personal reputation
but has portrayed the Church in a bad light.”Mr Bakare has therefore been directed to return all official items
in his custody and stay off all associated connections with the Mission
with immediate effect.”
