C&S Unification Repositions for 2026 AGC, Raises Alarm Over Insecurity

The Supreme Head of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, His Most Eminence Prophet (Dr.) Emmanuel Abiodun Adewale Alogbo JP, has declared that the Church is entering a new phase of renewed visibility, spiritual authority, and national relevance as it prepares for its 2026 Annual General Conference (AGC).

Speaking on Monday during a press conference ahead of the AGC at the Seraphim Land, Ogun State, Prophet Alogbo described the forthcoming conference as a defining moment for the Church beyond its centenary celebration. He explained that the 2026 AGC, themed “An Unhidden City” (Matthew 5:14), is a prophetic mandate calling the Church to shine boldly in holiness, unity, and national impact.

According to him, the theme reflects God’s call for the Church to rise above fear, division, and complacency, and to manifest Christ’s light through moral clarity, prayer, and apostolic purity. He noted that the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, preserved by God for over a century, is not retreating into history but stepping forward into renewed relevance.

Prophet Alogbo stated that the conference has been carefully structured to provide spiritual direction and practical guidance for both the Church and the nation. Planned activities include plenary teaching sessions on faith and servant leadership, leadership and ministers’ forums to strengthen governance and accountability, as well as youth, women, and empowerment sessions focused on vocation, innovation, and moral discipline. He added that the AGC will also feature prayer and intercessory sessions for peace, security, and national progress, alongside strategic dialogues on the future of the Church beyond its centenary era.

Addressing the state of the nation, the Church leader expressed deep concern over worsening insecurity across Nigeria, particularly the rising cases of kidnapping. He disclosed that 151 members of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church remain in captivity following their abduction during a Sunday service on January 18, 2026, in Wali, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State. While commending the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for efforts to address security challenges, Prophet Alogbo urged the government to intensify action, including equipping security agencies with modern tools and strengthening operational capacity. He warned that fear and panic now define daily life for many Nigerians, as travel across major roads has become increasingly unsafe. The Church also acknowledged recent reductions in food prices but called on the government to ensure sustained relief for citizens. On economic reforms such as fuel subsidy removal, the Church urged renewed efforts to cushion the hardship faced by Nigerians.

Prophet Alogbo further advised the Federal Government to strengthen collaboration with religious leaders, noting their closeness to grassroots communities and their ability to mobilize cooperation and promote peace nationwide. As Nigeria approaches another round of elections, the Church urged political actors to ensure a level playing field and avoid violence, bitterness, and divisive politics.

The spiritual head of the host church, Dr. Gbenga Aluko further affirmed that all preparations have been concluded for this year’s conference, assuring members and the general public of a well-coordinated event. He said the Church, working closely with the National Executive Council (NEC), has put every structure in place to ensure a spiritually impactful and orderly gathering, expressing confidence that the 2026 Annual General Conference will be an unforgettable experience for all participants.

In his conclusion, the Supreme Head called on members and leaders of the Church to guard unity, embrace forgiveness, and recommit to their shared mission, stressing that a divided Church cannot heal a divided nation.

He assured that under his leadership, the Cherubim and Seraphim Church would play a more active role in national discourse while continuing to stand for justice, dialogue, and the sanctity of human life.
