At last, Celestial Church of Christ, Worldwide under the leadership of His Eminence, Pastor Mobiyina Oshoffa, has issued an official statement signed by one of the top members of the church, Superior Evangelist (Prof) Bola A. Akinterinwa, fssan, Secretary, BOT, CCC Worldwide condemning the dastardly act of Francis Taiwo who chained and tortured his 9-year-old son….

Official Press Release On Prophet Francis Taiwo Saga
The attention of Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa, Pastor and Spiritual Head and the Board of Trustees of the Celestial Church of Christ, has been drawn to media reports concerning the activities of one Prophet Francis Taiwo, Shepherd in Charge, Celestial Church of Christ ( C.C.C ), Key of Joy Parish, Ajiwo at Ajibawo in Ado Odo/Ota local government area of Ogun State.

Prophet Francis Taiwo was reported to have chained his nine year old son and starved him of food for months, after the boy was accused of habitual stealing. The nine year old boy was eventually rescued by men of the NSCDC who stormed the church premises for that purpose. Latest reports indicate that the culprit, Prophet Francis Taiwo was later arrested by the police with the help of his church members.

This report has drawn the ire of the public and our great church has been receiving undeserved flaks therefrom. We are therefore compelled to issue this statement to correct whatever misconceptions that might have been created about the church, in the minds of the general public, by this shameful and totally unacceptable incident.
Let it be known that the Celestial Church of Christ does not condone child abuse and violence of any form. We recognise and place a high value on our youths and children as we do acknowledge them as the salt of the earth and a vital part of the future of any given stratum of society, organisation, church or nation.

Our belief is that children therefore must be raised in an atmosphere of love, Christian values and reasonable and acceptable parental discipline. The fact that the said Prophet Francis Taiwo was arrested by the Police with the help of his church members lends credence to the fact that our church abhors child abuse, domestic violence and inhumanity of any form.
We commend the NSCDC and the Nigerian Police for a job promptly well done, and wish to assure the general public that the Celestial Church of Christ is already taking a further look into the matter.

The Celestial Church of Christ avails itself of this opportunity to thank the general public for its concerns. May the good Lord be with you all, Amen.

Signed:
Superior Evangelist (Prof) Bola A. Akinterinwa, fssan
Secretary, BOT, CCC Worldwide

Post No Bill...

Medicine after death. The damage has already been done.

Hope Lessons are Learned from this....

Of course you're gonna deny the pastor even though your doctrine is to tie people and flog demons out of them, but now your barbaric act has been brought to the public it's every man for himself

Na wa

Who worships in that church?. They are good at chaining there members and flogging them with whips, all in the name of casting out some demons in them.

Some gullible people will still go cele 2morrow, if that's the only church on earth, i rather be a pagan.

Smh.

Reactions all over the place

medpren:


human stars? how?

you be learner?sidon there dey ask. Cele no be church o

I think this is a step in the right direction. Other religious bodies too should take note and condemn any negative acts of their members instead of shying away and keeping mum on issues like this.

buhari why now

Is the church not a place of worship ?

Benita27:
Who attends that church?.

Cele Church.... jinxed church

Well we can ask Tools and Capt Demuren whats up on the Cherubim side of love.

Can you imagine?

A man of God that can't even deliver a boy from stealing spirit. What is the essence of going to such Pentecostal church.

Church nowadays is Business and Money Making.

Their modus operandi is chaining and whipping of members, such things are inhuman.

SHAIBULIAR:

Pls explain. I get plenty of them around and their church is near my house. As early as 5am everyday, i always hear a base voice over their loud speaker chanting repeatedly.

Story

Government as a matter of urgency should mandate law enforcement agents to conduct a 'search and rescue' of all white garment church branches nationwide. For all you may know ...thousands may still be chained at those churches.
