Woli Agba Family Controversy: What We Know About Alfa Sule’s Allegations Against His Brother

Nigerian gospel comedian and preacher Ayo Ajewole, popularly known as Woli Agba, has come under public attention following allegations made by his elder brother, Femi Ajewole (Alfa Sule), concerning the leadership and legacy of their late father’s church.

The controversy began after Alfa Sule, during an interview on the Ajibola Akinyefa Podcast, accused Woli Agba of taking over the church founded by their late father and rebranding it as a personal ministry. The claims have since generated widespread discussion across social media.

The Allegations

According to Alfa Sule, he played a major leadership role in the church during their father’s lifetime but deliberately avoided presenting it as his own ministry. He alleged that after the church relocated, Woli Agba changed its identity and effectively assumed sole ownership of the ministry founded by their father.

Among the key claims made by Alfa Sule are:

• That the church’s name was changed.
• That their late father’s legacy has gradually been removed from the ministry’s public identity.
• That the church is now widely perceived as belonging solely to Woli Agba rather than remaining a continuation of their father’s work.

Has Woli Agba Responded?

As of the time of publication, Woli Agba has not publicly responded to his brother’s allegations. No independent evidence has yet been presented to verify the claims, and they remain the position of Alfa Sule. (Streamline⁠)

Background

The Ajewole brothers are well known within Nigeria’s gospel entertainment space. They were both associated with the Alfa Sule gospel drama ministry established by their late father before Woli Agba rose to national prominence through Christian comedy, evangelistic skits and online ministry.

In a 2020 interview, members of Woli Agba’s team described the ministry as having grown from the Alfa Sule movement, with several members continuing to work alongside the comedian for many years.

A Reminder for Christians

While family disagreements can attract public attention, Scripture repeatedly encourages believers to pursue reconciliation, humility and peace whenever possible. As the story continues to develop, Christians are reminded to avoid speculation, refrain from spreading unverified claims and pray for wisdom, healing and restoration for everyone involved.

This remains a developing story. New Man Media will update readers if Woli Agba or his representatives issue an official response.
