THE Secretariat of Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide has confirmed the death of the Spiritual Father and Chairman of the church, Prophet Samuel Adefila Abidoye,
The Secretariat headed by the Secretary-General, Special Apostle Ademola Odetundun said Baba Aladura died Sunday morning at about 10:00 am at the age of 103 in his Ilorin home, the Kwara state capital.
According to Apostle Odetundun, the late Baba Aladura had his breakfast, almost dressing up to prepare for service, when he said that he wanted to rest for a while.
“He passed on peacefully, thereafter”, he said, adding that burial arrangements would be announced later.
Prophet Abidoye was born a Prince on 26 June at Omu Aran, Irepodun Local Government of Kwara State. His father, Oba Odetundun Abegunde, was Oba Olomu of Omu Aran, which was in Ilorin Province at the time. His mother, Tinuade Tinuola, daughter of Niniola, a Princess of Oponda in the present Isin Local Government of Kwara State.
He started schooling at N. A. Primary School, Omu Aran in May 1934. He lost his father on Valentine’s Day of 1938 which made Lovers’ Day especially memorable to him personally. Around 1938, a Reverend Man of God, Senior Apostle Prophet Peter Oyinloye from Rore, near Omu Aran, introduced Prophet Abidoye to the Cherubim and Seraphim Church.
Meanwhile, just as other converts in other folds, this new convert and others were made to memorize the catechism, which they had to recite before baptism. Thereafter, he was given the grace of seeing our Lord Jesus Christ in his dreams and in a trance in 1958.
