Albert Odulele

Albert Odulele (born 5 January 1964) is a pastor, author, televangelist and a revelator. Odulele was born in London to Nigerian parents Abel Oyebajo and Patience Aotola. Odulele spent his formative years in Nigeria and emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1986.[1] Odulele was convicted of two counts of sexual assault in 2011, against two males, one of whom was under 16 years of age.[2] In 2016, the 52 year old Albert Odulele started a church in Nigeria. This raised a number of speculations in both the Nigerian and British press with regards to his persistent child molesting inclinations and the impact this could have on innocent children. A number of warnings were issued by many conventional and social media outlets[3] to parents, as it is feared that this notorious convicted child sex offender[4] may seek to further abuse innocent children in Nigeria.

Early career

Odulele graduated from Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University) in Nigeria with a Bachelor of Science in Medicine.[5] Following his relocation to the United Kingdom, Odulele founded the evangelical London church, Glory House which was initially established as Glory Bible church in 1993 from a former funeral home in Leyton, East London.[5]

Criminal conviction

In February 2011, Channel 4 News reported that Odulele was charged with two counts of sexual assault involving two male youths, one of whom was a boy under 16 years of age.[6] Odulele pleaded guilty[7] and confessed that he had been battling with his sexuality for many years.[8] Odulele was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to eight months in prison.[9] Having served some of his sentence, Odulele was released early from jail on 29 July 2011.[10] He since resumed his work as pastor of Glory House.[11]
