RCCG threatens camp residents, guests with sanctions over dressing

The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye has called out those in the habit of dressing indecently to the camp ground.

He warned sanctions are underway for anyone found culpable of defying the rules.

The Redemption Camp is the International campground of the mega Pentecostal church where it holds conferences and special programmes.

The riot act from the leadership of the RCCG was contained in a memo by an Assistant to the General Overseer, Oladele Balogun.

The memo reads in part: “We wish to formally inform all residents of Redemption City that, in our commitment to preserving the city’s sanctity and upholding its esteemed ‘Holy City’ status, the mission authority is implementing stricter measures against indecent dressing throughout the city.

“Henceforth, the mission authority has directed that any individual apprehended for dressing indecently will face significant sanctions, and the same punishment will also be extended to the parent or legal guardian.

“We, therefore, strongly urge all parents/guardians to instil proper Christian and dressing ethics in their wards to prevent unnecessary embarrassment, as the security operatives and Kingsford Security have been instructed to enforce the above directives with immediate effect.

“The security operatives and Kingsford security are hereby further directed not to allow anyone who dresses indecently to enter the Redemption City forthwith. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.”
