The family of Ayorinde AdeBello, a suspended pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has filed a petition against blogger Gistlover over allegations of homosexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blog had claimed that AdeBello engaged in same-sex relationships with young men, allegedly offering them opportunities in exchange for sexual favours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allegations led to the suspension of AdeBello and another pastor as announced in an RCCG memo dated October 28, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his defense, AdeBello categorically denied the accusations, stating, \u201cI never engaged in sodomy with male teenagers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said his previous silence was misconstrued as an \u201cadmission of guilt,\u201d prompting him to issue a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the petition, addressed to the assistant inspector general of police at FCID Alagbon in Lagos, AdeBello\u2019s family contends that the accusations are unfounded and lack credible evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family argued that the false claims caused significant emotional distress and jeopardized the pastor\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also urged the police authorities to conduct a fair investigation and expressed their willingness to cooperate fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe these are fabricated stories and are not substantiated with credible evidence,\u201d the petition reads in part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only \u201cevidence\u201d the blogger presented was an excerpt from a male teenagers WhatsApp group created to discuss different topics which were deliberately isolated and taken out of context, to achieve their evil intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese unfounded allegations have caused our Clients emotional trauma and has put their security at risk from attacks by these faceless individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe your office is poised to conduct a thorough and analytical investigation to expose the culprits without any recourse to sentiments or hearsay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe unequivocally reaffirm that Ayorinde AdeBello is innocent of these spurious allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease accept the assurances of our Clients\u2019 cooperation to aid the investigation whilst we seek your prompt response to our Petition.\u201d<\/p>\n
