Former Senior Pastor of the City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Idowu Iluyomade has opened his own church in Victoria Island area of Lagos.

Iluyomade, who left RCCG in 2024, now owns a church in Lagos, named “Family Fellowship.”

However, the pastor’s wife, Siju Iluyomade, was not spotted in the videos which are trending online.

TheTalk.NG recalls reporting that Iluyomade was replaced at the City of David parish following the public criticisms over Iluyomade’s wife, Siju Iluyomade’s extravagant 60th birthday party.

The party came a few days after the tragic death of Nigerian businessman Herbert Wigwe, a prominent member of the church.

Following the criticism, in June 2024, RCCG Governing Council of the church suspended Iluyomade for three months and replaced him with Pastor Charles Kpandei of RCCG Resurrection Parish.

RCCG went on to appoint a new pastor, Kayode Pitan to replace Iluyomade at the City of David Parish in Lagos, marking the end of the latter’s tenure.
