In his inauguration address, His Grace, Prophet Emmanuel Abiodun Alogbo, the Baba Aladura, urged the newly appointed executive to seek out fresh opportunities and leverage innovative ideas that will enhance the Church’s spiritual growth.

He emphasised the importance of these efforts not only for the Church but for the wider Christian community.

The Baba Aladura also highlighted the critical role of prayer, directing the ICOP to pray for the peace and stability of the nation.

His specific mention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other government officials underlined the Church’s commitment to supporting leadership through prayer.

Conference Supervising Prophet, Sp/Ap Pro Joel Adeniran, expressed his gratitude to the Church’s leadership for entrusting the new executive with this responsibility.

He assured attendees that the programmes and activities of the new ICOP would align closely with the Church’s broader vision for spiritual development.

As a central part of the Church’s mission, the ICOP will lead the way in initiating and coordinating prayer programmes aimed at fostering deeper spiritual growth within the Church.

One of their key priorities will be to review and update the ethics and practice guidelines for prophets and prophetesses within the movement, ensuring that all members adhere to the highest standards of conduct.

Looking ahead, the Conference Supervising Prophet also mentioned the forthcoming Annual Mount Horeb Ascension, an important spiritual event for the Church.

He encouraged both Church members and the general public to take part in this year’s Mount Horeb programme, marking it as a pivotal moment for spiritual engagement and community building.

The new ICOP leadership is expected to play an essential role in shaping the future of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, ensuring that the organisation continues to thrive spiritually and contribute positively to the wider community.

A 24-year-old Point of Sale (POS) operator, Shamsudeen Ishiaka, has been arraigned before an Ogudu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly defrauding five of his colleagues of N17 million.

The alleged offences occurred in November 2024 at Mile 12 Market, Ketu, where Ishiaka reportedly collected funds through bank transfers from his colleagues, promising to repay them in cash—a commitment he failed to fulfill.

According to **Prosecutor Inspector Bassey Sunday**, the complainants made the following transfers to Ishiaka in exchange for cash:

– ₦7 million – Mr Oluwakemi Dada
– ₦4 million – Mr Nuhu Hassan
– ₦2.7 million – Mr Ahmed Didat
– ₦1.8 million – Mr David Chibuzor
– ₦1.5 million – Mr Dare Oyegoke

After receiving the funds, Ishiaka allegedly absconded, prompting the victims to report the case to the police. He was later tracked down and arrested.

Ishiaka was charged with fraud and stealing, offences that violate **Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015

Felak Concept Group has strongly condemned a false publication by The Street Journal alleging that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested its Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), Dr. Mrs. Aisha Achimugu, on March 10, 2025.

In a statement, the company expressed outrage at what it described as a “malicious and defamatory” report designed to tarnish Dr. Achimugu’s reputation and damage the company’s image.

“We are certain that the EFCC, a reputable organization, did not provide this false and misleading information to The Street Journal and its publisher, Mr. Wale Arisekola,” the statement read.

Felak Concept Group decried the publication as a deliberate act of defamation, causing distress to associates, family, and well-wishers. It demanded an immediate retraction and a public apology within 48 hours.

“Failure to comply will leave us with no choice but to take swift legal action,” the company warned.
