IBADAN, NIGERIA — An Ibadan-based cleric, Kayode Amusan, popularly known as Agbala Gabriel, is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct and mishandling of donations raised for sick individuals, sparking intense debate across social media platforms.
For several years, the cleric built a strong online presence portraying himself as a compassionate religious leader whose ministry regularly mobilised support for vulnerable individuals, particularly those battling illnesses. Videos of him praying for distressed families and appealing for public financial assistance frequently circulated online, earning him admiration from many Nigerians.
However, that image has recently come under scrutiny following a wave of allegations spreading across Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.
One of the major controversies involves the case of a woman identified as Morenikeji, who reportedly suffers from a spinal condition and had previously attracted public donations for medical treatment. In a viral video, Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola recounted her involvement in raising funds for the woman’s surgery.
“I initially raised money for the woman’s surgery, which wasn’t enough. But as soon as the family took her to Agbala Gabriel’s care, I withdrew. Later, I got to know that Gabriel abandoned them and failed to provide the support of a good accommodation and surgery he promised,” Daramola alleged.
The woman’s daughter also claimed she eventually removed her mother from the cleric’s care over concerns about how the situation was being handled.
While that controversy gained traction online, another allegation emerged. A blogger known as Iyalaje Courtroom alleged during a live broadcast that the cleric was involved in mismanagement of donations and maintained inappropriate relationships with women. According to the blogger, a former backup singer identified as Bolu became pregnant for the cleric and later gave birth to twins.
“She was about 23 when the relationship started and she is now 25. Agbala Gabriel initially denied the pregnancy, but after pressure, he later accepted responsibility and rented a house for the lady and the twins,” the blogger claimed.
The allegation was echoed by charity advocate Princess Adeyinka, who claimed she intervened when the matter first came to light. “Agbala Gabriel impregnated Bolu and refused to take full responsibility initially.
I went to him myself to beg him to take responsibility when I first heard about it, which he denied initially but later took responsibility,” she said.
As the allegations continue to circulate widely online, reactions have been sharply divided. While some supporters have defended the cleric’s history of charitable work, others have called for greater accountability and transparency.
Responding to the accusations, the cleric denied any wrongdoing. “This is how they try to bring ministers of God down. All ministers who became famous faced this kind of lies.
We see men of God like Pastor Adeboye, and other famous pastors being dragged on social media every day. This is just how they do on social media, making false allegations,” he told .
As of now, no official investigation or legal action has been publicly confirmed regarding the allegations.
