Foluke Adeboye, wife of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has made public how her family dog passed away on January 1st due to having eaten poisonous food that was delivered to their residence.
Mrs. Adeboye, who recounted the near-tragedy in a video recently shared with church members, added that the household barely escaped harm when the suspicious meal was taken from their table.
According to the 77 year-old cleric, the food was brought to their residence as one of the many New Year gifts received. However, feeling a sudden sense of unease, she instinctively instructed her staff to feed the dish to their dogs.
“Somebody on one of the New Year Days brought food to our house. Of course, so many people had been coming in, going, and eating. I just entered into the kitchen and asked who owned this food. They said a person brought it. I looked at the food and asked them to give it to the dogs,” she narrated.
She added that a visitor from London who witnessed the decision was shocked.
“One woman who came from London was looking at me, and she almost abused me but because I’m a mother that’s why she couldn’t abuse me immediately. But in an hour’s time, the gateman brought the news that the dog has died,” she explained.
Foluke Adeboye warned the congregation about the dire consequences had the family consumed the meal.
“Imagine that on a New Year Day somebody in the house of Daddy GO ate that food, or about three or four people ate it. What will be the news?” She asked.
She used the cautionary tale to advise worshippers on the importance of spiritual discernment and vigilance when receiving gifts, particularly during festive seasons. Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Foluke married in 1967 and have three children.
