A shocking video that surfaced online on Monday, March 3, 2025, has ignited a firestorm of debate across Nigeria, particularly in the South West region. The footage captures a bishop from the Cherubim and Seraphim Church participating in an unconventional ordination ritual, leaving many to question the authenticity and legitimacy of the ceremony.

According to reports from  MilletNetwork.com  Nigerian news outlets, including The Punch and Vanguard, the video shows the bishop performing a ritual that involves the use of a live snake and other unconventional elements. The ritual, which has been described as "bizarre" and "unorthodox," has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from many Nigerians.

"This is not Christianity," said one commenter on social media. "This is some sort of voodoo or juju. The bishop should be ashamed of himself."

"This is a clear example of how some church leaders are using their positions to exploit and manipulate their followers," said another commenter. "It's time for the authorities to step in and take action."

The Cherubim and Seraphim Church has yet to release an official statement on the matter, but sources close to the church have confirmed that an investigation is underway.

In a statement to The Punch, a spokesperson for the church said, "We are aware of the video and are taking the matter very seriously. We will do everything in our power to ensure that our church is not brought into disrepute."

The controversy has sparked a wider debate about the role of the church in Nigerian society and the need for greater accountability and transparency.

As reported by Vanguard, the Nigerian government has been urged to take action to regulate the activities of churches and other religious organizations.

"The government needs to take a closer look at the activities of some of these churches," said a spokesperson for the Nigerian Humanist Association. "It's time for us to start asking questions about what's going on behind closed doors."

The controversy is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the Cherubim and Seraphim Church will respond to the allegations.
