After days of glowing tributes celebrating his contributions to the church, the late Spiritual Leader of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide and Supreme Head of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, His Most Eminence Prophet Emmanuel Abiodun Adewale Alogbo, will be laid to rest today, Friday.

The 93-year-old cleric joined the saints triumphant on July 30, 2026.

The week-long funeral activities, which began on Monday, featured lying-in-state ceremonies, services of songs and tributes from religious leaders, church members and other dignitaries, who celebrated his life and contributions to Christianity.

Described by many as a man of destiny, Baba Alogbo was the first spiritual leader of CSMC to occupy the position of Supreme Head of the C&S Unification Church of Nigeria.

Those who paid tributes to him also reflected on his spiritual journey and steady rise through the ranks of the church to attain the highest leadership positions in both the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church and the C&S Unification Church of Nigeria.

The tributes as well highlighted his commitment to promoting love and peaceful coexistence while he upheld these values throughout his years of spiritual leadership.

The late cleric was also celebrated for his contributions to the church and his efforts to foster harmonious relationships among people of different religious backgrounds.

The funeral programme will reach its climax today with a final public lying-in-state ceremony at the Blue Roof, Lagos Television premises, Ikeja, Lagos, between 8am and 9.30am.

A funeral service will follow at the venue from 10 am to 12.30pm, after which his remains will be interred at the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Kingsland District Headquarters, Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos, between 1pm and 2pm.

Born on April 18, 1933, in Lagos, Prophet Alogbo joined the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church in 1959 while working with the Nigerian Railway Corporation.

His encounter with the church in Zaria, Kaduna State, marked the beginning of more than six decades of service to the denomination. He later played a significant role in expanding the church’s missionary activities beyond Nigeria, including the establishment of branches in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Baba Alogbo was installed as the fifth Supreme Head of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria on September 20, 2025, succeeding Prophet Solomon Alao.

Following his burial, a private family gathering will be held on Saturday, while a thanksgiving service in his honour is scheduled for Sunday at the C&S Movement Church, Kingsland District Headquarters, Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos.
