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

This stupid act must be put to end! Adequate Lectures And monitoring shuld b encourage in the church
Really appreciate this press release by one of our amiable leaders….. More anointing Sir. There should be serious punishment or sanction for those false prophets, prophetess, and Shepherds draging the lovely name of the church into mud. Long live CCC
This beautiful church of ours is being dragged to the mud by some unscrupulous elements in form of humans calling themselves prophets etc. Methinks dat is time a task force is inauguarated to flush out and sanction any arm of the church. Tanx so much our amiable and able Prof. God bless the church. The motto of Celestial is LOVE. NO ONE SHOULD BE/IS ALLOWED TO RUBBISH THIS HONEST AND BEAUTIFUL CHURCH OF OURS.
Am glad there is a swift response from the Pastor in Council, the Board of Trustee members and from our amiable Pastor… May God in his mercies continue to lead you aright. But great patriarchs and matriarchs of this great church must have it in mind that they must focus on building the youths in the church, invest in them to protect the image of the church. There are many churches where anomalies are been discovered on daily basis but you will not here of it in the media just because members of such Churches are highly placed in the media and other relevant agencies and those they curb the matter, report it to their church authority who in turn ensure that necessary actions are taken. Please look into this matter… Olu Ijo Mimo maa GBE wa ooo….
Your boy, Olukayode Abel Ayobami
