Femi Giwa Amu: The lawyer and clergyman first made headline news when in September this year, his last daughter, Renua Giwa Amu, called him out for s-exually molesting her when she was a child. Then in December, Renua who is a graduate of Art and Design from Savannah College of Art & Design in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, took to her social media to reveal her plan to commit suicide due to the emotional torture the s-exual abuses from her father has had on her, coupled with the fact that members of her family didn’t think much of her calling out her father. She ended her own life on December 26th 2020. Her father’s only response to her death was to return to social media after almost two years of absence to post a non-verbal message on Facebook, of a photo of a pair of hands holding a lit candle.

Peter Alabi:
 Two weeks ago, Peter Alabi who is the senior pastor at Rhemaword International Christian Center (RICC), was accused of s-exual misconduct by members of his congregation. Victims of Peter Alabi’s s-exual misconduct said he carried out the acts while he was still a pastor at Obafemi  Awolowo University, Ile Ife. The clergyman started his ministry at University where he graduated from and from where he led a student fellowship in the school for years even after graduation. He later moved to Lagos State, where the RICC is now headquartered. In addition, the receipts of chats between him and another female member which was made public, showed that Alabi had made s-exual advances at another lady, between March 2020 to June 2020. Alabi who runs his ministry alongside his wife, Funlola is yet to respond to the allegations.

Timi Adigun:
 About three weeks ago, clergyman, Timi Adigun who pastors The Ark Church, Lagos, and is also the founder of MINE Teenage Ministry a ministry which has the mission of raising teenagers to be like Jesus in Word and in Deed with a focus on s-exual purity, was accused of having s-exual relationship with the same teenage girls and ladies whom he is supposed to counsel against s-exual immorality. The inability to keep his pants on, caused his teenage flock to abandon ‘ship’. 48 hours after he got exposed, Adigun admitted his ‘inappropriate behaviour’ over the years and tendered an apology. He however, denied having s-exual intercourse with any of the ladies adding that none of them was under aged. Unfortunately, members of the teenage ministry faulted the public apology, saying they do not believe it comes from a place of sincerity especially because he didn’t step down from his position and reportedly said that since he wasn’t called into ministry by anyone, no one could make him step down. There are allegations that his wife who they fondly refer to as Aunty Titi is very much aware of her husband’s atrocities and is therefore complicit.

General Overseer of Upper Chamber Ministries
: The general overseer of Port Harcourt based church, Upper Chamber Ministries, was earlier this month apprehended by members of a vigilance group for defiling his three daughters. The cleric, who confessed to the crime in a viral video where he was stripped naked, was reported to the group known as the Onelga Security, Peace and Advisory Council, by the clergyman’s son after he learnt that his mother had been covering up the incest. The cleric however said that he has never had any s-exual relations with female members of his church. When his wife was asked why she helped cover his crime, she said it was because of the immense love she has for her husband.
