Pastor Timi Adigun’s church is MINE Teens Ministry. It is located at the Ojodu Berger area of Lagos and boasts of perhaps, Africa’s largest gathering of teenagers as a church.
The Ministry preaches sexual purity. A member said that “their biggest programme is tagged ‘virginity day’ where they have marches all around the country and even abroad to promote sexual purity.
MINES Ministry is enmeshed in one of the biggest sex scandals in Nigeria yet.
Parents willingly trust their hand over their virgin teenage children to him to counsel and lead in the the righteous paths.
One of his favourite topics is sexual abstinence before marriage. The teenagers are often confused that he would preach purity and go on to sexually exploit them.
Some victimes say they find it difficult to report to their over-protective parents because of the trust reposed in the ‘Pius’ pastor.
When Pastor Timi Adigun was confronted by concerned pastors, he simply closed the ministry as well as the church premises and founded another ministry tagged ‘Heaven of Love.’
An expose by a member of the church:
Reactions:
A Fine, Rich Woman@Orifunke·When Biodun Fatoyinbo’s case went viral, Timi Adigun of Mine Teenage Ministry told his church members not to be talebearers or speak against a man of God. Little did anyone know that he himself had been sexually abusing and harassing his female teenage members for years!
Timi Adigun owned a teenager’s church where all parents will allow their wards go because the movement is NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE, unknown to them, he has been taking them into the inner temple. His secrets are out but started another church.
