After the Debo Adedayo’s saga, the expulsion drama rocking the Redeemed Christian Church of God owned Redeemers University has taken a new dimension following some staff member’s inability to meet up with prayer meeting.
This time around, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Adeyewa had mandated all staffs of the institution to attend the January 3rd, 2018 Covenant Prayer Day but it turned out that some staffs could not make it to the religious event owing to the fuel scarcity in the country during the yule tide.
It was gathered that a staff member who unfortunately relied on the January salary lost his 3-month old son due to his inability to pay for his medical bills as the VC was said to have delayed it because he was absent at the Covenant Prayer Day meeting.
Other staffs who couldn’t make it to the said event however have been agitating for their salaries but all pleas appears to have fallen on deaf ears.
Sources in the institution who spoke under anonymity said “the VC has a history of being authoritarian and draconian in his approach. He has been serially accused of using his position as a pastor to sway events in his favor and ruthlessly fight anyone he perceives as an opposition. Staff, alumni and students have at different times in the past expressed their frustrations about his style of leadership, with little or nothing coming out of it.”
