The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disowned a series of AI-generated videos falsely linking him to drug promotions and scholarship offers.

The Guardian reports that the cleric denounced the videos, circulating on social media, as misleading and having deceived many by falsely associating the cleric with these claims.

In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday, March 26, Pastor Adeboye clarified his lack of involvement with the promotions, saying: “I have been made aware of disturbing AI-generated videos circulating online, falsely advertising certain drugs and scholarships that are intended to deceive and mislead people. These videos are NOT from me, and I want to make it clear that I have no involvement in such promotions.

“I urge all of you, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, to be vigilant and not fall for these fraudulent schemes. They are designed to exploit your trust for selfish gain. Please do not share or engage with these posts. I encourage you to report these fake accounts and videos immediately on all social media platforms. Together, we can ensure that such deception does not spread further.”

Pastor Adeboye also noted that action is being taken against those responsible, stressing that the RCCG will not allow God’s name to be used in vain for such wickedness.

The statement said, “These malicious acts by ‘Africa Health Centre’ and ‘Church-Funded Scholarships’ are being dealt with already by the relevant authorities,” adding, “Let us continue to stay in the truth, walk in love, and remain focused on the genuine work of the Kingdom.”
