According to correcting.com, Rt. Reverend Rufus Victor Ajileye Adepoju has been suspended by the Anglican Church as the Diocesan Bishop in charge of Ekiti West diocese with immediate effect over gross sexual misconduct.

The news website further reported that the Anglican Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, conveyed the suspension in a letter dated December 11, 2020, and signed by the Primate, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba.

Mr. Adepoju has been stripped of his designated role and barred from participating in all activities of the diocese for one year.
