suspended John Kumuyi, the second
son of its General-Superintendent,
Pastor William Kumuyi, over his
controversial wedding in Jamaica.
The report was contained in an online
video on Tuesday.
John was suspended on account of his
bride, who flouted the church's rules
by using make-up and other flashy
ensemble that accompanied a fitted
wedding gown. The gown also had see-
through sleeves. His bride, Love Odih,
was accused of flouting the established
doctrine of the church on conservative
dressing.
Though the new couple, who got
married on June 15, 2013, had
apologised, the apology did not stem
the tide of criticisms by numerous
members of the church.
In the video, their apology was read on
Saturday by Pastor Akpofure, during
the church's monthly miracle and
revival programme, held at Deeper Life
Conference Centre, Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway.
It read in part, "We unreservedly and
wholeheartedly state that we did not
intend that our acts or omissions will,
in any way, undermine the great works
that God has done through the Deeper
Christian Life Ministry worldwide and
more especially, through our Father in
the Lord, the General Superintendent.
"We also use this medium to profusely
and sincerely apologise to the General
Superintendent for the embarrassment
and heartaches our actions have
caused him, more so that he had
earlier declined to be at the events."
Pastor Philip Olowu, during the
programme, said the church overseer
had expressed his displeasure with the
"standard" of the wedding.
In the video, Olowu said after a
thorough accessment of the wedding,
the church had decided "to place John
and his wife on discipline."
Attempts to reach the Public Relations
Officer of the church, Mr . Segun
Babatope, on the telephone were
unsuccessful, as his phone rang several
times unanswered.
