In a moment of historic and spiritual significance, Sir Amobi Celestine Edeani (KSC) was conferred with the prestigious title of Knight of St. Christopher, making him the youngest person ever knighted in the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion).
The investiture took place at All Saints, New Cross Road, London, under the auspices of the Nigerian Anglican Chaplaincy, United Kingdom and Europe, and was officiated by The Rt. Rev’d Benjamin Enwuchola, Bishop of Otukpo and Coordinating Bishop for Church of Nigeria Missions in the UK and Europe, alongside The Rt. Rev’d Dr. Enoch Atuboyedia JP, Bishop of Okrika Diocese. Clergy, council members, and faithful from across Europe were in attendance.
Knighthood in the Anglican Church is a revered honour, bestowed on individuals who exemplify unwavering faith, leadership, and sacrificial service to the church and humanity.
“To be knighted at this stage of life is not only an honour but a call to deeper service,” said Sir Amobi, whose contributions to the church and broader community continue to earn widespread recognition.
His investiture marks a symbolic shift, reflecting the Church’s growing embrace of young leaders committed to advancing the Christian mission in today’s world. Sir Amobi’s knighthood is not just a personal milestone but an inspiration to a new generation of faithful stewards.
