Former RCCG Teens Pastor Adefolarin Fowosere under probe over sexual misconduct allegations The Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG has commenced an internal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct involving a former Teens Pastor, Adefolarin Fowosere, popularly known as Pastor Ade Fire. The development follows claims made against the former youth ministry leader, prompting the church to initiate a review process to establish the facts surrounding the allegations and determine the appropriate course of action. Fowosere previously served in a leadership position within RCCG’s Teens Ministry, where he was involved in programmes and activities focused on young members of the church.

The allegations have attracted public attention due to the sensitive nature of the claims and the responsibility attached to positions involving the mentorship and guidance of teenagers.

In response to the reports, RCCG is expected to rely on its internal disciplinary and safeguarding procedures while examining available information and hearing from relevant parties. The church has consistently stated that it places importance on accountability, integrity and the protection of members, particularly children and young people, within its various ministries. No final decision or disciplinary outcome has been announced as the investigation is ongoing. The church has not disclosed further details about the allegations, citing the need to allow due process. The case comes amid increasing global attention on safeguarding practices within religious organisations, with faith institutions facing calls to strengthen systems for reporting, investigating and responding to allegations of misconduct.
