One particularly intriguing aspect of the press statement issued through M/S/E Fatusin media department is the clear distinction made between his leadership and the immature behavior exhibited by A/V/S/E Oshin when he reported A/V/S/E Tunji Bakare at his workplace with the intention of getting him fired over church matters over allegation he claimed occurred on the 7th January 2024 at CCC Harton Street National Headquarters in London.
A/V/S/E Oshin has accused his fellow shepherd of referring to him as an ex-drug baron who hid drugs in the Church altar of CCC Harton Street Parish in London while he also said he call him a pedophile. In defense, M/S/E Fatusin claims that the issue is solely related to Olasunkanmi Oshin and not the Diocese or the Church. In light of this, M/S/E Fatusin has advised members under his jurisdiction to report themselves to the appropriate government authority or their workplace whenever there are misunderstandings within the Church, rather than reporting to the Church authority.
It is a well-known fact that the Pastor Founder, Rev Prophet SBJ Oshoffa explicitly instructed every parish to establish a Parochial Committee, as outlined in sections 121 to 125 of the Church Constitution which was signed by the Pastor Founder in 1980. These sections state that the Parochial Committee should independently manage the affairs of their respective parish. Furthermore, in section 109, the Pastor Founder addressed Shepherds as his representatives. Given the similarities of the case at CCC Harton Street Parish in London, the question arises:
Does CCC Harton Street Parish, London as a Parochial Committee?
Why did A/S/V/E Oshin fail to report A/V/S/E Tunji Bakare to the Parochial Committee of his Parish, considering the allegations made against him in the Church?
Why did A/S/V/E Oshin neglect to report to the Shepherd, who serves as the Pastor’s representative?
If A/V/S/E Oshin lacks trust in his Parish Parochial Committee and his Shepherd, why does he not write to his HOD and copy the Pastor instead of reporting to A/S/V/E Bakare at his workplace?
Is A/V/S/E Tunji Bakare place of work a Government agency responsible for investigating the allegations against him?
Which members of CCC Harton Street Parish London can testify to witnessing the abusive language claimed by A/V/S/E Oshin?
During the time of Pastor Prophet SBJ Oshoffa, a member of the Board of Trustees named Baba Banjo faced accusations of misappropriation of funds at National Bank Lagos where he was employed. Another member of the Board of Trustees, Baba Owodunni testified against Baba Banjo. When this matter reached Papa SBJ Oshoffa, he questioned Baba Owodunni about whether he had thoroughly investigated the allegations before testifying against a fellow Celestian member. Papa SBJ Oshoffa then assured Baba Owodunni that “with what you have done to Banjo, I, as a Prophet of God, declare that nothing will happen to him at his place of work.”
It is on record that A/V/S/E Olasunkanmi Oshin specializes in reporting any celestial member in the United Kingdom to the Government with the intention of getting them arrested or deported back to Nigeria. He exercised this punishment on Late V/S/E Akanji, the former shepherd of CCC National Headquarters Makoko, Lagos when he reported the late senior clergy to the UK immigration. As a result, V/S/E Akanji was deported and banned from the United Kingdom for 10 years. These actions contributed to the depression and health issues experienced by Late Baba Akanji before his death.
Furthermore, A/V/S/E Olasunkanmi Oshin collaborated with some aides of the Pastor to apprehend a Celestial member in Nigeria around September 2023 with the intention of sending the individual to jail.
M/S/E Fatusin publicly stated that Celestial members in the United Kingdom can report themselves to the police authority and their workplace in the event of any misunderstandings that may occur within the Church premises. However, he also distances himself from the actions of his blind follower, A/V/S/E Olasunkanmi Oshin who has faced public condemnation for his outrageous behavior.
