The Celestial Church of Christ has officially disowned one of its pastors who was arrested for being in possession of drugs. The church made the decision after confirming the news of the pastor’s arrest.

Leaders stated clearly that the pastor’s action does not represent the values or teachings of the church.

The pastor was caught with a quantity of hard drugs during a security operation. His arrest has caused embarrassment to the church and its members. The Celestial Church stressed that it does not support or tolerate any form of illegal activity, especially one involving drugs.

Church officials said they have cut all ties with the pastor with immediate effect. They described his conduct as unacceptable and against the moral standards expected of any minister of God. The church also urged its members to remain focused on the true message of the gospel and avoid anything that could bring the name of the church into disrepute.

This development has sparked discussions among many worshippers. Some members expressed shock and disappointment, while others said the church did the right thing by acting quickly. The incident has once again highlighted the need for religious leaders to live by example and maintain high moral standards.

The Celestial Church is known for its large following across Nigeria and beyond. Leaders hope this decisive step will protect the church’s image and reassure the public that such behaviour will not be tolerated. They have also called on other religious bodies to remain vigilant and uphold integrity at all times.

This latest incident serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, not even a man of God. The church’s swift decision to disown the pastor shows its commitment to discipline and good conduct. Many people will now watch closely to see how the matter unfolds in the coming days.
