A former Redeemed Christian Fellowship (RCF) President at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Jimmy Adekoya, has wedded his male partner in the United Kingdom U.K.
The wedding took place on a Wednesday and had gained mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.
Mr Adekoya, who graduated from the OOU, served as a preacher, music director, and President of RCF before graduating in 2019.
Adekoya’s photos surfaced online on Friday night seeing him hold a Master’s degree in Medical Microbiology from the University of Hertford, alongside his gay partner, Seamus O’Donovan (identified as the wife).
Also, the former RCF pastor braided his hair and appeared in a new look in the viral photos.
He was photographed kissing his gay partner, holding hands, and flaunting their rings together.
According to Premium Time’s analysis, Mr Adekoya, a Front of House assistant at Nando’s during his Master’s programme, married Mr O’Donovan on Valentine’s Day.
He announced on his Instagram page that he married Mr O’Donovan on Wednesday.
He shared wedding photos with his partner, captioning them, “The beginning of forever.”
Additionally, on Friday, he revealed on Instagram that he gave his partner his life.
Mr Adekoya wrote: “Séamus, on this day, Valentine’s Day, I gave you the greatest gift I could ever give—my life.”
Meanwhile, in his Instagram Story, Mr Adekoya defended homosexuality, noting that it was not a sin.
He reposted a message from Instagram user Jide Macauley with the caption, “Stop religious homophobia.”
Furthermore, in a now-deleted Instagram Story, he reaffirmed his identity, stating that he was a gay man who loved Jesus.
Sharing a post by an X user, Popo, a fellow alumnus of OOU, wrote, “When your only offence is being a gay man who loves Jesus.”
