C&S Church condemns viral “Tongue-to-Tongue” anointing video

The Cherubim & Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria has strongly denounced a viral social media video showing a controversial bishop performing a “tongue-to-tongue” anointing ceremony, calling the act “horrific” and despicable before God and man

In a statement on Wednesday, the church distanced itself from the individuals involved, clarifying that they are not affiliated with the C&S Unification Church and do not represent its doctrines or values.

The church expressed deep concern over the video, particularly the mention of its revered founder, St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase, and the unauthorized use of its religious symbols.

“Ordinarily, we would not dignify such incidents with a response, but we must set the record straight,” the statement read.

Following an internal investigation, the church identified the main figure in the video as Alfred Oluwasegun Okikiola Ogunnusi, who calls himself “His Eminence Baba Aladura LAHOJAH.” The ceremony reportedly took place in Ogijo, Ogun State, while the man being anointed, known as Benjamin (also called Ajigbo), operates a makeshift ‘church’ in Adamo, Ikorodu, Lagos State.

The church condemned Ogunnusi’s attempt to justify the act using Genesis 48:10, stating that his interpretation was flawed and misleading.

Reaffirming its strict opposition to idolatry, the church stressed that the actions in the video contradict its beliefs. It also clarified that not everyone who wears a white garment belongs to the C&S Church and urged the public not to assume affiliations based on appearance.

“We strongly abhor idolatrous practices and reject their satanic and unholy acts in their entirety,” the statement emphasized.

“As a church, we anoint our members with olive oil only and baptize through immersion in water—not through any other practice.”

Additionally, the church disowned an individual in the video seen wearing a robe with the official C&S logo, stressing that he was neither a recognized member nor authorized to wear the emblem.

Urging the public to disregard the video’s misleading portrayal of Christian practices, the church called for a collective condemnation of the incident.

“These impostors are attempting to exploit the name of St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase for personal gain, but invoking his name does not grant legitimacy or membership in our church,” the statement concluded.

The Cherubim & Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria reaffirmed its commitment to upholding its spiritual traditions and maintaining the integrity of its teachings.
