It is again another sacrilege committed in the house of God last week Sunday 29^th of May 2016 by Apostle Solomon Itamah the pastor in the in charge of Christ Chosen Church of God (CCCG) Uselu Headquarters, Medical Stores Road, Benin City. The pastor who was said to have denied a new baby from being dedicated to God because the father did not present ram and a bag of rice to him for the dedication. The father of the baby Mr Kingsley Airihenbuwa a parishioner who has been a member of the church since 1996 lamented the way the pastor treated his new baby. It was gather that the pastor refused to anoint the child stating that until the ram and bag of a rice is submitted to him by the member the dedication will not be accepted by God. The pastor who was quoted saying that ram and the rice are for his god.  That the children snacks and milks brought for the dedication by the member is not for God therefore what his God want for the dedication is a ram and a bag of rice which is a MUST to suite his God.

The statement angered parishioners, friends and well-wishers of Mr Airihenbuwa that came to graced the dedication stating that such has never happen before in history of the church where a pastor will come openly to demand of what should be given to his God for dedication.
