Tragic news has shaken the spiritual community as the Senior Pastor of the Fountain of Life Church in Lagos, Taiwo Odukoya, has departed this world. The church released an official statement on its social media platforms on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, to convey the somber tidings. According to the announcement, Pastor Odukoya passed away on the 7th of August, 2023, while in the USA. He was 67 years old.
The statement issued by the Fountain of Life Family pays homage to the revered pastor, referring to him as "our Father, our Teacher, a great servant of the Most High God." The statement further reads, "We are in total submission to you Lord!!! We thank the Lord for the gift of a great leader."
Tragedy had previously struck the Odukoya family when Pastor Odukoya's late wife, Nomthi, passed away on November 9, 2021, following a valiant two-year battle with cancer. The couple had been married for 11 years and were parents to two sons.
Pastor Taiwo Odukoya's journey through life was marked by significant heartaches, having lost his first wife, Bimbo, in the tragic Sosoliso plane crash in 2005, which occurred in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
The passing of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya leaves an indelible mark on the spiritual landscape of Nigeria and beyond. His leadership, teachings, and impact on countless lives will continue to resonate, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his congregation and all who were touched by his teachings and guidance.
