For a Church to sit by and do nothing when one of its young Ministers cannot pay his rent is sad. For them to turn their backs on him and drive him into such a state of frustration, despair and desparation that he ends up committing suicide is damn right condemnable. RCCG why?

Wedding Of Michael Arowosaiye Canceled Over Nudes Leak Before Suicide

A new update we got about the Gospel Minister who committed suicide in Abuja, revealed that he is not an RCCG member, but a member of Shepherd House Church, Apo.

According to Bennie Umoren, the deceased left the Redeemed Christian Church of God two years ago, and he didn't die because he was depressed over rent. The Facebook user who revealed that the Gospel Minister who committed suicide was not an RCCG member, further disclosed that his wedding was cancelled because of sexual relationship with another girl who leaked his nudes, hence he got frustrated because of the embarrassment.

Michael Arowosaiye: RCCG finally states position on death of singer who allegedly committed suicide Published on May 17, 2019 By Wale Odunsi 

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 to DAILY POST 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.
