Pastor Timi Adigun kicks as Juliana Olayode alleges sexual assault of sister
Juliana Olayode, the Nigerian actress, has accused Timi Adigun, a pastor at The Ark Church in Lagos, of sexually assaulting her sister.
Olayode and Adigun, who was the actress’ “spiritual” father and manager, have engaged in a heated war of words on social media.
Adigun had put out a three-part video claiming that the film star came by his office trembling because she knew she wronged him.
On his Instagram story, the cleric also denied Olayode’s claims of abusing her sister.
“I have been brought before a social media jury. I have to speak the truth but it is still up to individuals to choose what to believe,” he said.
“That said, I want to make it public here that I am ready to stand before any court or panel and I am ready to be investigated.
“When you know you have told the truth, there is no more fear. I never sexually abused anyone! I have facts, figures and dates. What I was guilty of, I owned up to and apologised for. The next I want to see is a subpoena.
“I will continue on social media and continue building my businesses and ministry. This is a distraction I have no time for. I will not be posting on this again.”
But in response, Olayode claimed she found that Adigun invited her sister from school, lodged her in a hotel, and touched her inappropriately in what she described as a three-day sexual assault.
The actress also claimed that Adigun asked her sister to allow him to perform anal sex with her.
She alleged that she suspected a while back that the pastor was touching her sister and had visited him to ask him to stop.

“You will end in destruction” – Bishop Oyedepo issues warning to Yahoo Boys
Nigerian clergyman and founder of Living Faith Church otherwise known as Winners Chapel, has issued a warning to Yahoo boys.
The popular clergyman, during a sermon on Sunday, April 28th, said that internet fraudsters, who are famously known as Yahoo boys, are living in a very fast lane which would end in bitterness and destruction.
He stated that nobody playing games has a future in the Kingdom as he admonished them to desist from it. He noted how there is a law to mind which is the law of sowing and reaping, the law of seedtime and harvest, and the law of giving and receiving.
Bishop Oyedepo in his final message told them to engage in the law cheerfully and should watch how they will begin to lay up gold with time.
He said: “Nobody playing games has a future in the kingdom. Hear this and hear it forever. If that is your trade, stop it.
Yahoo Yahoo business, stop it. Grabbing people’s ATM card details, stop it! You are on a very fast lane that always ends in bitterness and d£§truction.
There is the law to mind. The law of sowing and reaping. The law of seedtime and harvest. The law of giving and receiving that is the law.
Engage with that law cheerfully. Engage with that law willingly. Engage with that law tirelessly and watch how you begin to lay up gold with time.”
Sometimes back, Bishop David Oyedepo had made headlines when he banned earphones and others in his church, describing them as devil’s tools.
According to Man of God, youths with earphones are not ready to hear God’s words, hence they should not be allowed into the church.
He had also warned married couples on the dangers of not having a good sex life. He averred that a sex-starved marriage is heading for destruction.

Drama as pastor Paul Enenche confronts lady for sharing fake testimony (Video)
Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), on Sunday, called out a woman for sharing what he claimed to be a “false testimony”.
A short video from the DIGC’s service went viral on social media wherein he confronted the woman during her testimony.
The lady had taken to the altar to testify how she became the first graduate in her family. She also thanked God for making it possible for her to graduate with a “Law degree from the National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN)”.
She recounted how some spiritual forces prevented her and her siblings from attending universities and how she overcame them.
Enenche, however, asked the lady what degree she graduated with and she said “Law”. The clergyman thereafter inquired to know what kind of “Law degree”, to which the lady answered “BSc in Law”.
The cleric immediately pointed out that there is no such thing as a “BSc in law” — casting doubt on her testimony.
“Your testimony is a lie. There is nothing like a BSc in Law. Please go back to your seat. Bsc in Law. Is that how lawyers speak English?” the cleric asked rhetorically.
“Please, anybody who comes to this altar to share a testimony that is not true, you do it at the risk of yourself.
“We are not playing here. We are not faking anything here.”

Of the graduates, 15,768 received their undergraduate degrees, while 6,407 were awarded postgraduate certificates.

The federal government has approved Thursday April 11 as an additional public holiday for this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration.

In the new statement, Ndayako quoted Tunji Ojo, minister of interior, as congratulating the “Muslim Ummah for a successful completion of a month of spiritual rejuvenation”, while “reiterating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) firm commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive”.
