Idowu Iluyomade, the former senior pastor of the City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has launched his own church in Lagos named Family Fellowship.
In a video making the rounds online, pastor Idowu was seen with his beloved wife Siju Iluyomade and their church members as they danced and celebrated massively inside the newly built church.
The opening of his own church comes months after pastor Idowu was suspended for three months but he resigned afterwards.
A senior pastor in the church stated that Iluyomade’s suspension was prompted by public backlash over the lavish birthday party his wife, Siju Iluyomade, hosted shortly after the passing of Herbert Wigwe, a prominent church member and former CEO of Access Bank.
However, his new church’s opening sparked discussions online as social media users shared their thoughts via the comment section. While many congratulated him, some mocked his approach. Some reactions are shown below:
