The Redeemed Christian Church of
God (RCCG) on Friday reacted to reports of the death of one Mr. Michael
Arowosaiye, said to have committed suicide in Abuja on Tuesday, May 14, 2019.
The church’s position was
contained in a statement sent by Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, Head
Media & Public Relations.
It said while the RCCG leadership
sympathises with the family of the deceased, it had become necessary to clarify
information in the public.
It read: “The said Mr. Michael
Arowosaiye was not a minister in the RCCG. He was a singer and a keyboardist in
one of our Youth Parishes in Abuja until 2017 when he left for another ministry
in 2017.
“His movement to another ministry
notwithstanding, Michael, through his elder brother who is presently one of the
coordinators of the RCCG Youth Choir, continued to get invitation to minister
in RCCG programmes.
“He had accommodation problem in
2018 and though he was no longer in the RCCG, a family in the Mission gave him
the Boy’s Quarters of their house in Sunnyvale Estate in Lokogoma which was
where he lived till the unfortunate suicide incident.
“It is therefore untrue to refer
to him as a Minister in the RCCG. It is also misleading and absolutely
incorrect to create the impression that RCCG does not care for its Members and
Ministers.
“The RCCG is in the forefront
among organizations with robust welfare package in Nigeria.:
