Fresh Details Emerge On Circumstances Surrounding Death Of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya
New details have emerged regarding the circumstances surrounding the passing of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of the Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju, Lagos…CONTINUE READING
According to reports, Odukoya, affectionately known as Pastor Taiwo, passed away in the United States of America (USA) at the age of 67. While the church did not officially disclose the cause of his death, sources indicate that the well-respected preacher had been grappling with health issues, largely stemming from personal tragedies he endured.
A close family source shared, “He never really moved on from the losses he experienced. He tried to be strong, but there is a limit to what a person can endure.”
Pastor Taiwo faced a series of heartrending losses. His first wife, Bimbo, tragically died at the age of 45 in a Sosoliso plane crash in 2005. This loss deeply impacted Pastor Taiwo, as he and his wife had a strong bond. The aftermath was made more difficult by the negative comments that circulated, affecting him profoundly.
The source added, “Pastor was more affected by what people said after Pastor Bimbo died than by the actual event. Many people made hurtful comments that weighed on his heart. He was deeply hurt by the cruelty of these remarks.”
After much contemplation, Pastor Taiwo remarried. However, another devastating blow struck on November 9, 2021, when his second wife, Pastor Nomthi, a South African, passed away due to cancer at the age of 47. She had two children with Pastor Taiwo.
The source revealed, “If Pastor Bimbo’s death was devastating, Pastor Nomthi’s passing was a knockout punch. It completely knocked Pastor down and out. He was inconsolable and greatly concerned about public opinion.”
The loss of his twin sister a few weeks after his wife’s death added to Pastor Taiwo’s grief. Having lost two significant women in his life, the toll was immense, especially considering the strong bond he shared with his sister.
The source emphasized that these personal tragedies deeply affected Pastor Taiwo, causing him to withdraw and struggle emotionally. Despite putting up a brave front for the church, he carried a heavy burden internally. His health challenges became increasingly apparent, leading to international medical trips from which he did not recover.
