We are pleased to announce the safe arrival of the Spiritual Head of our Church, his Eminence Rev Pastor Emmanuel Mobiyina Friday Oshoffa to the United Kingdom today 8th September 2023. He was accompanied by his wife, M/C Celina Oshoffa, with two other aides. The Pastor has embarked on a week spiritual visitation to the United Kingdom.
Prior to the Pastor’s arrival, We; the Concerned Shepherds and Church Workers UK Diocese, have consistently voiced our concerns regarding the unacceptable leadership of M/S/E Fatusin. Under his watch, the UK Diocese has experienced a decline and deviating from the principles of transparency, accountability, and equal rights for Celestial Church members in the United Kingdom.
It is with great urgency that we provide a detailed report on the unfortunate incidents involving M/S/E Fatusin and his followers, which resulted in embarrassment for the Pastor during a gathering of members who welcomed the Pastor to the UK at the National headquarters (CCC Harton Street). Furthermore, one of his followers – A/V/S/E Olaiya who physically abused the Parochial Committee Chairman of the Parish whilst addressing the Pastor calmly with full respect. An act that could not be condoned by all that was present.
This regrettable event took place due to the misguided and overly ambitious actions of M/S/E Fatusin. His disruptive behaviour tactically undermined the warm welcome that was intended for the Pastor. It was good to note that on arrival of the Pastor at the National Headquarters, the general doctrinal practice of a short service was followed. M/S/E Fatusin then formally introduced the Pastor and his wife. Everyone present, then warmly welcomed the both accordingly to the church tradition.
It was believed that through divine guidance, the Pastor would address and resolve the collapsed administration of M/S/E Fatusin. After the introduction, the pastor took the central stage to express his gratitude for the warm reception organised for him. He also emphasized the importance of God in the lives of Celestial Church members residing in the UK and he prayed for all.
Next, the Parochial Committee Chairman of CCC Hatron Street Parish London S/V/M/S/E Shaba was granted permission to speak and he acknowledged the presence of the Pastor pledging the Parish’s allegiance to his leadership. However, the Chairman also thanked the Pastor for giving them a good Shepherd in person of V/S/E Bayo King, who has taken the parish to a greater height. He then raised concerns about letters the parish had sent to the Pastor with a response and he was reaching out to a small folder he brought with him when suddenly A/V/S/E Olaiya rose from his seat after exchanging a knowing glance with M/S/E Fatusin before proceeding to engage in a physical confrontation with the Parochial Committee Chairman, who was addressing the Pastor and the congregation. asking him to stop his address. It surprises all when he made an attempt to forcefully remove the microphone from the chairman. This attempted coup was not only disgraceful, disrespectful, and ungodly but a big shame as the Pastor of our great church was sitting when this ugly act happened.
This unexpected turn of events transformed the peaceful atmosphere into one of confusion, as the once-respected Medical Doctor who suddenly turned into a violent man under the influence of his superior, attempted to seize the microphone from the Parochial Committee Chairman.
The members of CCC Hatron Street Parish London were appalled by this public embarrassment and firmly insisted that their Parochial Committee Chairman continue presenting the true state of affairs to the Pastor. As Concerned Shepherds and Church Workers of the UK Diocese present, we quickly discerned the negative intentions of M/S/E Fatusin in disrupting the gathering. It became evident that his actions were aimed at instilling fear in the Pastor’s heart and preventing genuine members from conveying the actual situation to him.
M/S/E Fatusin’s motives were clear – he sought to manipulate the Pastor’s perception by fostering a negative mindset, while simultaneously attempting to undermine the progressive members of the Diocese through blackmail and exploiting the challenges faced by the Pastor.
The actions of M/S/E Fatusin and his followers have only served to reinforce our series of complaints regarding his uncontrollable attitude and negative behavior, which have caused significant harm to the Diocese solely for his gain. Every member present at CCC Hatron Street Parish witnessed the disgraceful treatment inflicted upon the Pastor and his wife. This distressing situation compelled the Pastor to leave the gathering and seek refuge in an undisclosed location.
We find solace in the fact that the Pastor’s wife was present to witness the events unfold, including M/S/E Fatusin’s reprehensible behavior of inciting his followers to engage in physical altercations with church members, all in the presence of members of the Church. It is evident that if M/S/E Fatusin could go to such extreme lengths by forcefully preventing a Parish Chairman from addressing the Pastor, one can only imagine the potential consequences in the absence of the Pastor.
It is with great concern and disappointment that we address these issues, as they undermine the integrity and harmony of our Church. We implore the Pastor to take swift and decisive action to rectify this situation and ensure that such behavior is not tolerated within our Church. Our faith and trust in the leadership of the Church depend on God and the decisive action of the Pastor to change the narrative of the UK Diocese back to the position when God planted it before the appearance of M/S/E Fatusin among us.
Let us continue to pray for our Church and UK Diocese.
