Celestial Church of Christ, Land of Goshen Cathedral, situated in the Kosofe area of Lagos, has come under fire for inviting Fuji musician Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, and controversial street singer, Habib Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, to a praise night.
In a flyer posted on the church’s Facebook page, the church wrote, “JOIN US ON 15th OF DEC, 2023. As We Celebrate our 7th Year Anniversary on Our ANKARA/PRAISE NIGHT
“Performing: ALHAJI WASIU ALABI PASUMA a.k.a. Oganla, HABEEB OLALOMI a.k.a Portable, MAY-SHUA, EVANG. SUNDAY GP a.k.a De Governor”
