This comes only two days after he officiated the funeral service of one of his church members, the 36-year-old daughter of a well-known broadcaster.
According to reports, the Pastor, whose church is located at the Shopping Mall, Tropicana Centre, Uyo, passed away on Saturday, July 1, in Uyo after a short illness. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Initially, when the news emerged, some church members thought it was fake. However, the church leadership later confirmed the sad news.
The church requested prayers from the body of Christ during this time of grief, particularly for the Pastor’s immediate family.
“In this time of grief, we enjoin the body of Christ to hold us up in prayers and most especially, His immediate family,” the church announced.
