One woman alleged on TikTok that Fowosere used his position as a spiritual leader to initiate inappropriate relationships with young women. Similar accounts were subsequently shared by other users on the platforms.

Legit.ng has not independently verified any of the claims, and no law enforcement agency has announced criminal charges against Fowosere as of the time of this report.

Church and Spokesperson Respond

When journalists reached Fowosere directly, he asked for a text message to be sent to him. Despite reading the message on iMessage, he did not address any of the specific allegations raised.

A man who identified himself as Fowosere's media spokesperson, Mr Daniel, later stepped in to speak on the matter.

He confirmed that the church was already managing the situation through the appropriate internal channels.

"The church is aware and it is being handled by the necessary authorities at the Redeemed camp. Ade Fire himself has been reporting to Mummy GO's office for about a week or two, even before the social media discussions started," Mr Daniel said.

He added that all relevant units within the church were involved, and that the matter had reached the desk of RCCG's leader, known as Mummy GO. He also revealed that Fowosere had been instructed by church authorities to refrain from making any public statement for the time being.

"Let's await the truth," the spokesperson added.

The RCCG is yet to release an official public statement addressing the allegations. The outcome of the church's internal disciplinary process is expected to determine its formal position on the matter.
