The children of Samuel Ogbomwan who was the late founder of the Christ Apostolic Church of God Mission, CACGM, have blamed the withdrawal of the security personnel for recent robbery attacks on their father’s house.
They were referring to a recent episode when the robbers reportedly broke into the house and succeeded in carting away valuable house items.
This is one of the series of complaints by the children of the late founder of the Church who say that there is no visible trace of any of them in the leadership structure of the church unlike other ministries like Church of God Mission, Living Faith Church, Spirit and Life Church, etc

They said despite requests, the church, without any rationale has constantly refused to admit any of them into Statutory church boards as if there is a deliberate plot to leave out his children or heirs who are members of the Church from critical roles.
In a related development the children have frowned at the nondisclosure without proper account of the sum of #1000 which the Church asked members to pay for the burial of the late wife of the founder.
Contacted, Head of Communication and Media of CACGM, Rev Ileonomon Idehen, denied the allegations, saying security personnel were withdrawn when wife of the late founder also died, adding that all these happened last year and not recent as claimed.
On the compulsory N1000 allegedly collected from each member of the Church, the head of communications said this happened when their (children) mother died last year, adding that it was voluntary and not compulsory.

“All what you are talking about happened last year, their mother died more than a year ago so I don’t know why this is coming up. The N1000 you are talking about was a voluntary donation for their mom’s burial, I was part of the burial committee, so there is nothing hidden. The records are there for everyone to see. So there is no single truth in all the allegations,” he added.

“I urge them to redouble their effort to service delivery, strategic leadership, and the core mandates of reformation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of inmates,” he said.
He further stressed that the promotions are not merely rewards for past service but “a call to higher responsibility in line with global best practices in correctional management.”
“The Service remains committed to building a motivated, disciplined, and professional workforce capable of meeting the complex demands of modern corrections and public safety,” Nwakuche added.

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has travelled to the United States to attend the wedding ceremony of his nephew and music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
Recall, Davido confirmed that he and his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, will have their white wedding in Miami, Florida, in August 2025.
He made the announcement during an interview on The Breakfast Club, aired on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.

“Those unable to attend may join virtually,” Rasheed stated.
He noted that Adeleke had not taken any official vacation since assuming office in November 2022 and said the current trip would be short.

“Additionally, from the November 2022 date, the governor has not gone on official vacation.
“For this current trip, the Governor has again chosen to make it a short one to continually attend to crucial state functions.
“Meanwhile, the Governor is in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is supervising activities of the government,” Rasheed added.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Osun APC had accused Adeleke of leaving the state without informing residents or formally transmitting power to his deputy. The party described the governor’s absence as “abnormal.”

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, the party said, “The question being asked in hushed tones in some public places, inside commercial buses and by motorcycle riders and their passengers in the state, is where could be the whereabouts of their governor for this long.
“As the governor of all and sundry, we as a party need to know the whereabouts of the governor and who has been holding fort for him during his absence from the state since two weeks ago.
“Did the governor duly transmit power to his deputy who is constitutionally covered to temporarily step into the shoes of his principal in his absence?”
