Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has questioned the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) for not rising to the aid of a worship leader at one of its parishes in Abuja who committed suicide on Tuesday.

Michael Arowosaiye who was said to be a worship minister at RCCG reportedly committed suicide on Tuesday after becoming depressed over his accommodation issues.

Reacting to the incident, Fani-Kayode took to his Twitter page to call out RCCG.

He wondered why the church sat back and did nothing to assist Michael when he needed help with his accommodation before he eventually took his life.

He wrote,

“For a Church to sit by and do nothing when one of its young Ministers cannot pay his rent is sad.

“For them to turn their backs on him and drive him into such a state of frustration, despair and desperation that he ends up committing suicide is damn right condemnable. RCCG why?”

Corroborating Fani-Kayode’s position, social media critic Daddy Freeze, reposted the former minister’s tweet on his Instagram page and said the church could have done better for the deceased.

He wrote,

“This is indeed sad… RCCG could have done better in my opinion.”
