Leke Adeboye, son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A. Adeboye, has issued a stern warning to youths verbally attacking his father in the ongoing 30 Days Rant Challenge on social media.
Taking to his Instagram page, Leke shared a warning post originally made on Facebook by Paul James Adama.
In the post, Adama expressed deep concern over the trend, which has seen individuals allegedly making derogatory remarks about Pastor Adeboye and Christianity.
He criticized social media users, including self-proclaimed Christians, prophets, and apostles, for remaining silent while what he described as ‘malicious and injurious publications‘ continued to spread.
Adama also stated that those who have crossed the line should be prepared to face the consequences.
According to him, when actions are taken against those involved, people should not start defending them with claims of ‘Jesus never arrested anybody.’
A part of his post read “Let it be abundantly clear that those who have crossed the red line by abusing our Faith and Father’s of Faith on that challenge will be communicated to in the language they will understand.”
The warning has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting the call for respect, while others argue that public figures, including religious leaders, should be open to criticism.
