We have had pastors and ministers that made mistakes or misconduct themselves and apologize on altars or whatever platform publicly. It didn’t just start today. It’s even scriptural that you apologize and step down for a while until you are sober and the church prays for you.
It’s this level of pride and audacity to still plan to lead another church for me. To what end? To hurt them again?
Pastor Timilehin Adigun has been harassing so many girls in his ministry and church in the past 5 years— a lot of people even say it is beyond 5 years.
We are hurt, tired, mourning and have cried our eyes out. Our teenagers are stranded because of the fear of landing in the hands of another predator who supposedly calls himself a pastor.
A church that we put all of our hearts, submitted ourselves in service to - MINE TEENAGE
MINISTRY and THE ARK CHURCH. We all thought our sisters, brothers and teenagers were been helped. It has been the other way round. A lot of girls have beensexually assaulted by the “pastor” of this church and are stillnursing the hurt hoping that something would be done about it.
Those of us who are indirectly connected to these ones are hurt as well because we have put ourselves in the line for this ministry and church by serving.
Our girls, sisters, women, mothers no longer feel safe anywhere, not even in the church.
“What if the lady who was raped and killed in a church was raped and killed by a pastor or church member?”, is the kind of question you make us ask.
Timi Adigun has tendered no apologies and neither has he owned up to this frivolous act of his. Instead, he has closed down the
church and ministry after these things and opened another one where he gathers teenagers to manipulate them and torture them with wrong doctrines by modelling! He calls it the “Haven of Love”.
We now find it hard to trust anyone or submit ourselves because we really can’t tell
who the next predator is. This person we have submitted to has caused us more harm than good. We are tired.
We want you, Timi Adigun, to own up to this act, apologize and step down from pastoring while you get the needed discipline and therapy.
We have had so many angry comments of victims and if the government fails us, the church should be a safe space. Unfortunately, the church is now a dangerous dungeon filled with hurt, strife and pain. And no, I won’t keep quiet because one day, I’d stand up to speak to and for
women who would find it hard to trust me if I don’t speak now.
We are not judging you. We ask that you do what is right.
We are not even charging you yet, we just want you to do the right thing. Honour us and honour God. Let’s get people to trust human beings as safe spaces.
This is not about me and you. This is bigger than us. It’s the body of Christ, our mothers, sisters, nieces, daughters. We can’t let this keep happening.
We can’t have that if we don’t right our wrongs.
