Pastor Sunday Adelaja speaks about his alleged Russian sex scandal

Pastor Sunday Adelaja, founder of one of the biggest churches in Eastern Europe - the Embassy of God Church in Ukraine, has opened up on the recent allegation against him.

Reports alleged that he had sexual relationship with 20 women in his congregation and confessed to higher authorities in Russia.

Here are his words concerning the issue according to Vanguard:

"First of all, the media is making too much noise about it. I was said to have confessed to some people in Russia about having sexual relationship with 20 women but I have not been to Russia in the last 10 years.

It’s part of a conspiracy by some former members of my church leadership who, after hearing that I was leaving for Africa, decided to take advantage of the vacuum to gain for themselves temporary benefits. This is nothing new really.

"In the Bible, Paul spoke of similar situation. He warned that when he departed from his congregation, the wolves will come in sheep’s clothing to take over. To attain that goal, they are ready to do anything.
