The Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide has suspended five members from worshipping at its New Jerusalem Parish 9, Ilorin, Kwara State for two years.
The church said the move was necessitated by the affected persons’ alleged breach of peace in the church.
The suspension letter signed by the spiritual head of CCC, Rev. Samuel Oshoffa, identified the affected members as Mayaki, Bolaji, Awofadu, Fashakin and Olajide.
The church said the “senior elders” will not be allowed to participate in church activities during the period of suspension.
The letter, according to some members, was read by the church’s task force chairman, F.A. Adjovic, during service on Sunday.
Adjovic stated that the decision to suspend the members from worshipping at the parish was for peace to reign in the house of God.
He, however, urged members who had already registered as church workers at the administrative office to report at the headquarters of CCC at Imeko, Ogun State, for postings.
