TOSIN OYEDIRAN FROM PUNCH

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has addressed the AI-generated image circulating on social media, which depicted him as an alhaji.

According to Church Times Nigeria on Saturday, Adeboye spoke during the first Holy Ghost Night of the new year, held in the early hours of Saturday, January 4.

Late December last year, there were viral images which trended online depicting the RCCG pastor as a Muslim – clothed in Islamic garments – and as being in the Holy land of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

PUNCH Online reports that a male figure who completed Hajj rituals on an holy pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia is called an Alhaji while the female counterpartis is called an Alhaja.
