In a letter dated December 11, 2020 seen by Newsflash247, Bishop Adepoju, was said to have been caught with the wife of a priest under his employment and care.

The suspension letter was signed by the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Most Rev Henry Ndukuba.

The Bishop also reportedly admitted wrongdoing.

“Advent greetings in the precious name of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ,” the letter said. “We write with a deep sense of concern and pain to suspend you from office as the Diocesan Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ekiti West.

“This is sequel to your conduct giving just cause for scandal and abhorrent s-xual behaviour with the wife of a priest under your employment and care. These facts were admitted by you in a meeting in our office held on Thursday December 10, 2020.”

Following his suspension, the Bishop would not partake in any church activity for a year, the letter said.

“By this suspension, you are not to partake in any activity of the Diocese as the Diocesan Bishop for a period of one (1) year effective from the date of this letter. Please report and handover to your Archbishop and for further spiritual guidance.”

 â€œIt is our prayer that you will use the period to seek the face of God as we join in upholding you in prayers.

“The supervision of the Diocese of Ekiti is hereby devolved upon us the Primate of All Nigeria. The LORD be with you.”

When our reporter contacted the headquarters of the church in Abuja to seek clarification if there are more punishments for the bishop but our correspondent was told such matters are never discussed on telephone.

Effort by this newspaper to also get in touch with the Bishop was unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report. He did not answer or return multiple calls made to him.

Bishop Adepoju, 57, was enthroned bishop of Ekiti West on June 27, 2017, after about 32 years of priesthood and after serving as a venerable for 20 years.

Many of us here in South Africa may be familiar with this herbalist who once claimed that that the well respected prophet, TB Joshua is his one of his boys who visit him frequently for miraculous power.

However, when the man made the revelation, many were amazed including some people here South Africa, especially among the Christendom. What the man said generated a lot of reaction.

TB is a well respected Nigerian prophet who is known globally including here in South Africa. Some of our South African citizens might be familiar with the man of God owing to the fact that we had once lost dozens of our citizens in the prophet's hostel when the dilapidated building collapsed on top of the innocent miracle seekers.

Nevertheless, as we all know, people can come up with anything to just dent the image of a popular person because of one selfish interest or another.

But whatever it is, we must be cautious of places we enter for healings.

Be that as it may, the man have reappeared on the internet community when the video of him in a ceremony was shared online to the amazement of people.

According to some of the pictures from the video, the herbalist was seen dancing and entertaining onlookers as the ceremony was going on.

His entourage were seen waiting for him to finish with the dancing so that they would take him home.
