<h2>Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, the father of popular singer Davido, has donated&nbsp;₦1 billion to Cherubim and Seraphim Church in honour of his late mother, Nnena Esther Adeleke.</h2>

On August 18, 2024, the Adeleke family attended the thanksgiving service in Lagos State to celebrate the life of Nnena Esther Adeleke, who was the founder of a C&amp;S church in Ede, Osun State. During her lifetime, she held the esteemed title of Senior Mother-in-Israel within the church, a position that her daughter, Modupe Adeleke-Sanni, now fills.

The service was attended by notable figures like the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Davido.

In the trending video, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke said, “On behalf of our late mother, senior mother in Israel, late Mrs. Esther Adeleke, we want to contribute to the centenary endowment fund, the sum of N1 billion."
