The Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide has appointed Emmanuel Alogbo as the acting spiritual head.

This announcement coincides with the leadership’s disclosure of the burial date for the late leader, Samuel Abidoye.

The decision was made jointly by the Board of Trustees and the family of the deceased during an emergency meeting held on Tuesday at the church headquarters in Orile Igbon, Oyo State.
