The Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide has frown at the vicious attempts by bloggers to pin ritualists on members of the white garment church, also known as Celestians, and the denomination in general.

Recall that since the report of arson that took place at the Celestial Church of Christ, Overcomers Parish, Oke Ira Nla, Ajah, Lagos, following the death of a labourer contracted to evacuate the soak-away pit in the church premises, there have been several attempts by vloggers and bloggers to tarnish the image of the church.
The [tooltip text=”shepherd” gravity=”sw”]This refers to the head pastor in a particular Celestial Church of Christ[/tooltip] of the church, where the unfortunate incident happened and who was almost lynched by the irate mob, VSE Aso James, has narrated his own side of the story as he lies critically injured at the hospital.
His Assistant, Senior Evangelist Ayotunde Oladipupo, who attempted to save the Hausa labourer, also fell into the soak-away and presently hangs precariously between life and death.
These so called media practitioners have tried so hard to pin the label of ritualist on the embattled Shepherd and by extension all C.C.C. members, not minding that the Police have come out to affirm that the body of the late Hausa labourer, Dogo, was not in any way mutilated.
“Like rabid dogs, they have made several attempts to stand the facts of the matter on its head and change the narrative to portray the Celestial Church of Christ in very bad light.
“The death of the Shepherd, VSE Aso James, has also been announced even as the innocent man lies on hospital bed battling for his life. They have spread the unsubstantiated and false information that the ailing Assistant Shepherd, Senior Evangelist Ayotunde Oladipupo, is not in the hospital and so on.
“One thing is clear though, the authorities of the Celestial Church of Christ would not take all these lying low. Due process would be followed. The Police Report on the death of Dogo would be made public. Those who have tarnished the image of the Celestial Church of Christ in this matter shall be fished out and should be ready to face charges of criminal slander in a competent court of law.
“We serve you EXCERPTS from a video of an interview conducted with the critically injured Shepherd on his hospital bed. An interview that was conducted at about the same time that the news vultures and scavengers were busy announcing the innocent man’s obituary. The FULL VIDEO contains shots of an interview with the Assistant Shepherd, Senior Evangelist Ayotunde Oladipupo, on his hospital bed on the same day that the desperados were busy announcing that the same man was not in any hospital.
“On Sunday, 4th June, 2023, VSE Aso James was moved to a hospital owned by his personal doctor of many years, where he would receive better medical care, while his Assistant Shepherd was moved to a Teaching Hospital where he would enjoy the attention of specialist doctors as demanded by his condition,” the head of media, CCC Worldwide submitted.
