“I have NEVER demanded for sex from any male as payment or gratification in order to give them assistance, platforms, or positions. God is the only king-maker, the only One who can raise and erase kings, and give positions and platforms.
“I have NEVER had sex with Mr Jedidiah or proposed sex to him for any reason.”

Pastor AdeBello said his previous silence on the matter had been misinterpreted as a sign of guilt.

According to the pastor, his comments in a WhatsApp conversation were taken out of context and misconstrued.

The suspended RCCG pastor explained that the screened WhatsApp message was focused on issues of male reproductive health and self-esteem within a teenage WhatsApp group.

“The questions in the screenshot were asked during a conversation in a male teenager's WhatsApp group where discussions regarding Male Reproductive Health and self-esteem took place.
