A preacher at the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Onikoko, Abeokuta, Ogun State, has died after collapsing while preaching during a Sunday service.
On April 3, Ogunnusi was preaching against the mindset of ritual killing to make quick money when the incident occurred.
The congregation was thrown into disarray when the preacher, who is also the Baale of Onikoko, a hamlet near Abeokuta’s Panseke district, suddenly fell with the microphone in his hand.
The deacon, who was speaking in Yoruba, said, “The money you make through unlawful means, killing people, sucking human blood; when death comes, it will belong to another person.”
The interpreter could be seen still trying to translate the words into English as the deacon collapsed,
He was brought to the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, and pronounced dead, according to the Daily Trust.
One of the church members told the news outlet, “The man was not the pastor of that church, he was just an elder. He was the Baale of Onikoko. But he was the one that delivered the sermon on Sunday.
“He was talking about death and people who make money by killing other people. All of a sudden, he collapsed. He was rushed to the FMC, but he died. We don’t know what happened. I was very scared. Everything was disrupted. We just shared the grace and went home.”
Meanwhile, it is still unknown whether he had any health issues. The deacon’s body has been placed at the mortuary.
