Popular Ibadan-based cleric Kayode Amusan, widely known as Agbala Gabriel, is facing a barrage of allegations on social media involving sexual misconduct and mishandling of donations raised for sick individuals, threatening his long-cultivated image as a compassionate pastor.
For years, the cleric built an online reputation as a caring minister whose ministry frequently rallied support for the sick and vulnerable.
Videos of him praying for struggling families and appealing for financial help circulated widely across social media platforms, earning him admiration from many Nigerians who viewed him as a cleric committed to charity work.
However, in recent days, that carefully constructed reputation has come under intense scrutiny.
A series of accusations spreading across Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram have placed him at the center of a fierce online debate involving claims about medical fundraising for a sick woman and allegations that he fathered twins with a former backup singer in his church.
One of the controversies emerged from the case of a woman identified as Morenikeji, who reportedly suffered from a spinal condition and whose medical situation had previously attracted public donations.
In a viral video, Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola spoke about the circumstances surrounding the woman's case, revealing that she had earlier contributed to raising funds for the 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 in the same video that she took her mother away from the cleric due to concerns over how the situation was being handled.
While that controversy was still gaining traction, another allegation surfaced.
A popular blogger known as Iyalaje Courtroom alleged during a live broadcast that the cleric was involved in mismanagement of donations and sexual relationships with women.
According to her, one of the women, Bolu, was a former backup singer in the pastor's church who became pregnant for him and later gave birth to twins.
Charity advocate Princess Adeyinka echoed the claim, stating: "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."
As the allegations spread rapidly across social media, supporters and critics of the cleric clashed, with some defending his years of charity work while others demanded greater transparency.
Responding to the allegations, the cleric told Saturday Punch he was innocent, attributing the claims to attacks on men of God.
"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 said.
