Pastor Taiwo Odukoya laid to rest in Lagos
The Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC), Taiwo Odukoya has been laid to rest.
He died about a month ago in the United States.
The preacher, whose church is headquartered in the Ilupeju area of Lagos, was buried, yesterday, in a private ceremony attended by family members and close associates.
A funeral service was held earlier in the day at the church’s headquarters.
In his sermon at the event, Bishop David Abioye, extolled Pastor Taiwo’s legacies, while commiserating with Fountaineers on the demise of the cleric.
He told the attendees that life is about impact, asking them to maximise their time on earth.
According to him, every man must taste death, but what matters in the end is the legacies people leave behind.
“We have to be sensitive to how we spend our life because all man shall die,” he said.
“The big question to all of us is, how are you living?”
Apart from Bishop Abioye, other dignitaries who graced Saturday’s funeral service included the wife of ex-Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo; The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM)’s Bishop Mike Okonkwo; the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo; Senior Pastor, House on the Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, a delegation from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), among others.
Born in Kaduna, North-West Nigeria, Pastor Taiwo is survived by six children including Nollywood star Jimmy Odukoya.
