Apparently, he was servicing the needs of the wife of a priest under his care.

The Diocesan Bishop of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) of Ekiti West, Rufus Adepoju, has been suspended for alleged involvement in sexual misconduct.

Mr Adepoju, according to a letter dated December 11, 2020 seen by PREMIUM TIMES, was said to have been caught with the wife of a priest under his employment and care.

(Read the letter below).

PREMIUM TIMES contacted the headquarters of the church in Abuja to seek clarification if there are more punishments for the bishop but our correspondent was told such matters are never discussed on telephone.

Effort by this newspaper to also get in touch with the Bishop was unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report. He did not answer or return multiple calls made to him.

Bishop Adepoju, 57, was enthroned bishop of Ekiti West on June 27, 2017, after about 32 years of priesthood and after serving as a venerable for 20 years.

What is suspension? Sack him. He lacks the moral,and spiritual etiquette to hold that office.

That's bad but even worse it's the wife of a priest.
