RCCG Female Members in LAUTECH Ogbomoso Accuse Pastor Tayo Sobowale of Sexual Assault
This is a very serious allegation that has shaken the RCCG community in Ogbomoso. Several female members of the church at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology have come forward to accuse Pastor Tayo Sobowale of sexual assault, and one of them has shared her story in graphic detail in front of the congregation.
The allegations reportedly came to light when one woman stood up during a church gathering and narrated exactly what happened to her. According to her, the incident occurred after Pastor Sobowale invited her to his residence. She said she had gone there to bring him pounded yam and egusi soup, something he had requested, and that's when things took a dark turn.
Her words, as she addressed the congregation, were chilling. She said, "You told me you would wait for me to finish what I was doing to get you the pounded yam and egusi. I brought it to your place in upper room and before I knew it, you were all over me. You were trying to rape me and I kept closing my leg and telling you no." She further alleged that the situation escalated, though she didn't go into more detail about what happened next.
The fact that she spoke out publicly, in front of other church members, tells you how serious she is about her allegations. Women who lie about these things rarely take such bold steps because they know the consequences. But women who have actually been through it, They'll stand before anyone and tell their truth, consequences be damned.
The church leadership has not yet issued an official statement on the matter, and Pastor Tayo Sobowale himself has not responded to the allegations publicly. But the damage is already done, the story is out, people are talking, and the church is under scrutiny. RCCG has always presented itself as a morally upright organization, so how they handle this will say a lot about their commitment to protecting their female members.
Sexual assault in religious institutions is not a new problem, but it's one that churches have historically tried to sweep under the rug. Whether this case gets the same treatment or is handled properly remains to be seen.
