The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has suspended two pastors following allegations of homosexuality that circulated on social media. In a memo dated October 28, 2024, signed by the church’s National Overseer, Sunday Akande, the RCCG announced an investigation into the accusations.

Addressed to the Special Assistant to the General Overseer of Administration, the memo emphasized that the church does not condone homosexuality, grounding this stance in biblical teachings. Citing verses like Leviticus 18:22 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Akande reiterated RCCG’s adherence to doctrines that reject homosexuality.

As part of the investigation process, the accused pastors have been temporarily removed from their roles within the church. The memo outlined that the investigation should be thorough, confidential, and completed within two weeks.

The RCCG has emphasized handling the matter with care, integrity, and respect for all involved parties.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed interest in ending the war in Ukraine during separate phone calls with him on Wednesday.

Following these conversations, Trump instructed top U.S. officials to begin discussions aimed at resolving the conflict. This comes after his defence secretary suggested that Ukraine might need to reconsider its NATO ambitions and territorial claims, signalling a major shift in U.S. policy on the war.

After speaking with Putin for over an hour, Trump said the Russian leader wants a ceasefire and a lasting resolution rather than a temporary truce that could lead to renewed fighting.

“He wants it to end. He doesn’t want a situation where they stop now and resume fighting six months later,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“I think we’re on track for peace. Putin wants peace. Zelenskiy wants peace. And I want peace. I just want the killing to stop.”
