Exposed! Why Pastor Sunday Adelaja is fighting men of God + All you need to know about his grace to grass story
It is disheartening for one to get to the apogee of his ministerial calling, then out of the blue something happens and he sees himself back to square one, that’s the case of Pastor Sunday Adelaja, erstwhile senior Pastor of The Embassy of God Church in Kiev, Ukraine. The fall of the Nigerian charismatic preacher and prolific author is still a huge shock to me. A man who used to be a global voice in the Christendom, who had met several world leaders and won numerous awards like the Archbishop Benson Idahosa Prize for Missionary Exploits which was presented to him in recognition of his missionary exploits and social engagement in Kiev, Ukraine and around the world.
Pastor Sunday Adelaja was honoured to open the U.S. Senate in prayer on April 23, 2007 just after he became an Honourable Member of the EuroAsian International Chamber of Commerce. He was also honoured to speak twice at the United Nations on August 23, 2007. In his late thirties, Adelaja’s Embassy of God Church in Kiev, Ukraine became Europe’s largest church with close to 30,000 members and had branches spread across the Nation of Ukraine and some other countries.
The fall of pastor Sunday Adelaja is connected to the multiple sexual accusations on his head where over 30 women have accused him of having an extra marital affairs with them. Adelaja, admitted that he sexually abused the women in an audio clip which is on the internet where an undercover journalist who posed as a prophet called him from the UK. Adelaja was heard saying “Amen, Glory to God” when the undercover journalist told him that the incriminating explicit photos will disappear and he would be exonerated. In one of his videos he stated that sexual sin alone cannot take one to hell fire
A letter obtained by DiasporaReporters from Pastor Sunday Adelaja’s former spiritual father and mentor, Apostle Tuff Ulysses who is based in the US indicates that both of them have parted ways after the man got wind of his protégé’s sexual shenanigans. He wrote him a letter officially withdrawing from him.
Below are summary of the letter which Pastor Sunday Adelaja former mentor wrote him;
-You have defiled the sanctity of marriage with your immoral behaviour.
-A pastor is supposed to be one of sexual purity but you cannot say this about yourself.
– You committed incest with your spiritual children.
– You covet your neighbour’s wives.
– Deception for months. Although you called me and told that you wanted me to know, you were still committing unholy acts.
– Lying- numerous distortions to me.
– Pride instead of a spiritual humility.
– Hypocrisy
The Embassy of God Church, reputed to be Europe’s largest church with 30,000 members is now living in her past glory as thousands of members have left the church due to Pastor Sunday Adelaja’s immoral act and also the $100 million law suit against him where some members of the church accused him of defrauding them by asking them to invest in a Ponzi Scheme “Kings Capital” which later collapsed.
According to investigations by DiasporaReporters, Pastor Sunday Adelaja has been kicked out of the church hierarchy, his name is no longer among the names of the church executive. To make matter worse for him, the Ukrainian authority have placed him on travel ban since last year and his international passport seized from him to stop him from fleeing the country. Recent reports has it that one of the young ladies who accused him of having affairs with her later committed suicide and died.
Information obtained from somebody who is very close to him says that Pastor Sunday Adelaja is now on drugs due to his mental challenges orchestrated by the myriads of problems that has engulfed him. He is presently at the crossroads of life looking at where he was before and where he is now. I believe that God must have warned Pastor Sunday Adelaja before his sudden fall but he never heeded to the admonition because of pride and arrogance. Pastor Adelaja is full of himself as if he alone has the monopoly of spiritual knowledge. His over 25 years of ministerial exploits in far away Ukraine is now in ruins, he has completely lost it and that’s why he is trying hard to bring down other men of God mostly in Nigeria.
His recent Facebook live stream collaboration with a Nigerian adulterous “On Air Personality” Daddy Freeze shows that he had digressed into the lowest ebb of spiritual sensitivity. He has rubbished and made mockery of notable men of God in Nigeria like Pastor E.A. Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Prophet T.B Joshua, Apostle Johnson Suleman, Dr Paul Enenche, etc.
Recently, he told his protégé, Mayowa Olaiya, a Nigerian lady who relocated from the UK to be living in his house in Ukraine to start a petition and mobilise people to sign the petition that will be forwarded to the UK Prime Minister, Theresa May urging her to ban a Nigeria preacher, Rev Funke Adejumo from entering the UK.
Pastor Sunday Adelaja and Mayowa are accusing the woman of God of defrauding people by asking them to sow a seed ranging from $500 to $1000 as the case may be. This is the same Pastor Sunday Adelaja who in the time past has called out people to sow a seed. I have a video where he said he needed $20,000 to put screen TV in his church and people were trouping out and a young student came out and sowed a seed of $1000. More also, Adelaja also stated it that his honorarium is between $5000 to $15000, so why then are they cruxifying Rev Funke Adejumo.
The petition has caused some mixed feelings and some group have countered her petition with their own petition.

More than ₦3 billion was targeted, but about ₦677 million reached the culprits, with recovery and prosecutions underway, reflecting how banks are responding to more sophisticated fraud risks.
Nigeria’s expanding digital banking sector is facing increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts, as financial institutions adapt to faster transactions and broader online services.
A recent case involving First City Monument Bank (FCMB), linked to fraudulent activity detected in December 2025, has drawn attention to how banks are responding to such incidents, with a focus on limiting exposure, recovering funds and working with law enforcement.
According to findings referenced in proceedings before the Lagos State Special Offences Court, the incident involved unauthorised transactions tied to a digital product. Early reports erroneously suggested more than ₦3 billion was lost. Subsequent clarification shows that over ₦3 billion was targeted, ₦2.4 billion was blocked and recovered, while ₦677 million got into the possession of the culprits. This outcome reflects the bank’s cyber security and monitoring capabilities, as well as improved collaboration among regulated financial institutions and with law enforcement agencies. Several suspects and beneficiaries have been apprehended, while recovery and prosecution efforts are ongoing, led by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Proceedings at the Lagos State Special Offences Court have resulted in convictions, including that of a repeat offender, with restitution orders issued. Related matters are also being handled at the Federal High Court in Lagos, where additional suspects are being tried in connection with the scheme. This process is aimed at ensuring that bad actors are identified and permanently blacklisted from the financial system.
Authorities say recovery efforts are continuing as additional funds are traced.
Analysts note that the pace of legal action reflects closer coordination between financial institutions and enforcement agencies in addressing cyber-related financial crime.
The case comes as banks contend with more complex fraud methods, including social engineering and automated exploitation of system processes.
As digital products and platforms expand, so too does the risk associated with cyber-crime and related fraud.
“The scale of digital banking means risks are evolving alongside the systems,” said a Lagos-based financial analyst. “Institutions are now judged by how they manage these events.”
Observers say the sector is moving toward a stronger focus on response and recovery, rather than prevention alone.
This includes improving monitoring capabilities, strengthening transaction controls and enhancing collaboration with regulators and law enforcement. The FCMB case, with limited exposure relative to the amount targeted and ongoing recovery, reflects that shift.
For customers, the primary concern is the safety of their funds. In this case, there has been no indication of losses affecting customer deposits. Maintaining that level of protection remains central to sustaining trust in the financial system.
Nigeria’s financial sector continues to grow, supported by digital innovation and expanding access to banking services.
However, analysts say fraud attempts are likely to persist as systems become more complex and interconnected.
They say institutions will increasingly be judged not only on their ability to prevent incidents, but on how effectively they respond and recover when they occur.

Ex-APC Deputy Guber flag bearer, Joshua MacIver backs Tinubu, express fears over implosion in Bayelsa APC
….congratulates new State Party Chairman, Warman Ogoriba
APC Deputy Governorship Candidate in the 2023 general elections in Bayelsa State, Great Joshua MacIver has declared his total commitment to the re-election of President Bola Tinubu come 2027, declaring that the Tinubu re-election project is non-negotiable.
Great Joshua MacIver, in his statement titled ” BAYELSA APC CONGRESSES: GOING FORWARD, A CALL TO LOOK INWARDS” and made available to newsmen in Yenagoa, warned APC leaders in the state to look Inward and take note of certain factors which may hinder or cut short our victory.
According to Great Joshua MacIver, such noticeable pitfalls include the imbalance in the united front being put up by the State Governor,Senator Douye Diri among various political blocs in the state.
In the statement issued at the weekend. Great Joshua MacIver stated that “First, before His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, joined the APC in the state, there were clearly two political blocs that made up the party, with the approximate population ratios of the blocs standing at 95% to 5%.”
“After the entrance of His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, ONLY THE SMALLER BLOC IS BEING CARRIED ALONG IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE PARTY, leaving the greater percentage to their fate, and this situation has the potential to build anger and dissatisfaction in our dear party.”
” The consequence of this has been the high level defection we have witnessed in the party recently and we believe more may likely follow, if we do not put our house in order.”
” If we do not pull together as a party, we may witness a situation where we will lose key stakeholders, especially after the State and National Assembly Primaries as well the Gubernatorial Primaries.”
“Finally, while it is very clear that we are the party to beat in the 2027 elections and that our loyalty to Mr. President IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, we must make haste to say that we cannot afford to create situations or loopholes in our unity which will be exploited by other political interests in the state. We cannot afford to under-rate anyone.”
“Our core interest remains the re-election of Mr. President, a project to which we have committed our all. We also pledge our total loyalty to the party as we have no alternative to the APC. However, our concern is that we must, as a party, look inwards and ensure that we do not create loopholes that can impede our common goal.”
Great Joshua MacIver, however congratulated the newly elected State Executives of the APC in Bayelsà State led by Hon. Warman Ogoriba, saying their emergence is welcomed at this critical time in our national history.
At least 23 people were killed in a series of suspected suicide bombings, police in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri said on Tuesday.

More than 100 other people were injured in the blasts that took place on Monday evening in the capital of Nigeria’s restive Borno state.
No group has claimed responsibility for the suspected attacks.
The deadly blasts come after a military post was attacked overnight Sunday to Monday, which authorities blamed on suspected Islamist militants.
This sad incident is coming barely two weeks after Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church specifically warned against attacks in some states. He mentioned these states while calling on security operatives to pay close attention to them.
These were his words:
“Another attack is coming up in these following states where the military must watch carefully and intelligently; Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi, Niger, Borno, Kwara and Kogi state. They want to do a deadly attack, it’s preventable but it depends on how they will handle it. I have told you about the danger coming up.”
@primateayodele
Unfortunately, some of our military agencies don’t believe spiritual intelligence can save the country from so much danger hence, their neglect of this prophetic warning but now, it has been fulfilled with the miliary losing credibility by the day while Primate Ayodele continues to gain momentum.
Likewise, At least 26 passengers and crew sustained varying degrees of injuries on Monday following an accident involving the Kaduna–Abuja train, according to the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).
Opeifa explained that the train departed Rigasa in Kaduna at 7:15 a.m. and was approaching Asham station around 9:16 a.m. when a loud bang was heard after the power car and trailing locomotive collided with one of the passenger coaches.
In July 2025, Primate Ayodele asked nigerians to pray not to see train mishap on the Kaduna-Abuja route.
@primateayodele #nigeriantiktok🇳🇬 #fulfillment #train #abuja #primateayodele
“Let’s pray not to see train mishap in Abuja-Kaduna, Kaduna-Abuja route.”
This has also been fulfilled.
