Celestial Church' of Christ's Leadership Disowns Shepherd (Crime)

Men of God are supposed to be revered and given the utmost honour. Their job is a noble one that entails lots of sacrifices, toil and inconvenience in order to save souls for the kingdom of God as well as oversee their spiritual nourishment on earth. 

But, what happy when one discovers that some men of God are actually otherwise,?

 That is the situation with one Afolabi Hodonu, arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with his wife for possessing 11kg of skunk in Lagos.... 

NDLEA operatives arrested Hodonu and his wife, Success, at the Gbaji checkpoint in Lagos, where 11Kg of skunk were allegedly recovered from carefully concealed areas in their vehicle. Undoubtedly, the name of the wife did not live up to it's meaning that day.

Hodonu is said to to be the Shepherd in charge of the Celestial Church of Christ, Agonvi Sea Beach, in the Sakpo area of Seme border, Badagry.

A statement on Sunday by the agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, said the arrest of the pastor and his wife happened after an arrest of a fake security guard, Sunday Samuel, 35, at the same checkpoint while transporting 24.5Kg of skunk from Seme border to Lagos.

The secure guard wasted no time before singing like a canar. His confessions led to the arrest of the cleric and his wife.

Promptly, the leadership of Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) disowned Hodonu. The church said he is not a m8of the church. 

I'm his reaction, the Head of Media and Publicity of the church, Kayode Ajala, said  the church's administrative records reveal that the cleric and his wife are not affiliated with the Ketu mainstream of the Celestial Church of Christ under the leadership of Reverend Emmanuel Oshoffa.

Our administrative records confirm that the said Shepherd, Afolabi Hodonu and his wife, Success Hodonu, do not belong to the Ketu mainstream of Celestial Church of Christ under the leadership of His Eminence, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa,” Ajala said.

He expressed concern that CCC's name  had been dragged into such a “despicable act.”

Still, Ajala said that a task force would be deployed to the Seme area of Badagry, Lagos State, on "a fact finding mission'" to ascertain the facts surrounding the incident.

Why is CCC embarking on such a mission when it already denounced him and his wife publicly as non members of the church?

.             Governor Ademola Adeleke  Gov. Ademola Adeleke has been embroiled in troubled web of navigating the platform through which he will prosecute his second term bid.  The main opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) through which he emerged victorious, is embattled to the point where its implosion is threatening its extinction in Nigeria s politics.  The chapter of the All Progressive's Congress (APC) would not have him despite his soaring popularity in Odun state. Despite his fervent rapprochement with President Bola Tinubu in order to gain a foothold as the party's gubernatorial candidate if he defects, the president was noncommittal.  The party ruling apparatus stridently and publicly warned him off in no uncertain terms in strongly worded press statements. They feel they have sweated a lot to rebuild the party following the defeat of the then sitting APC Governor Gboyega Oyetola to just relinquish the party's topmos...
