RCCG Pastor Whose Wife Threw Lavish Party After Wigwe’s Death Suspended

The Pastor of the City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Lagos, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, has been suspended.

His suspension came following the extravagant birthday party of his wife shortly after the death of Herbert Wigwe, former Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Access Holdings Plc.

Wigwe, who died on board a chopper in February, was a member of the Parish.

According to ChurchTimes, a top pastor of the church who did not want his name mentioned said the decision to suspend Iluyomade was in response to the public outcry against the party.

“It was not Pastor Adeboye that suspended him. The governing council decided to suspend him. I think it’s a decision in the right direction. Though some believe it is coming late.

“They needed to investigate some of the things people were saying against him and the church,” the source said.

Sources in the church said his suspension was done via a letter over the weekend.

He has since been replaced by Pastor Charles Kpandei of RCCG Resurrection Parish of Region 11 of the church.

The wife of the Parish Pastor, Dr Siju Iluyomade, held a lavish birthday that left tongues wagging after the death of Wigwe.

The pastor’s wife’s party took place at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island Lagos.

Some persons expressed displeasure that Iluyomade held such a party weeks after the tragic death of a prominent member of the church alongside his wife and son.
