A family source of the late Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the Senior Pastor of Fountain of Life Church, has revealed the actual cause of his death.
A family source while speaking to The Nation reports that the clergyman had health issues, which were triggered by personal tragedies.
The family source claimed that the death of his wives and twin sister affected him badly that he never recovered from the losses.
The source further claimed that he tried to be strong, but there can only be a limit to what a man can take.
According to the source, when he lost his first wife, Bimbo, he was affected by the negative news he received about her death.
Recall that many people blamed him for his wife’s death and accused him of being diabolic.
When he also lost his wife to cancer in 2021, his situation worsen as he was bothered about what people would say, which left him lifeless.
“Pastor was more devastated by what people said after Pastor Bimbo died than what actually happened. Many people said nasty things that saddened his heart. He was touched by the savagery of the comments. Well, he had o choice and decided to move on despite the heartbreak. It took a lot of talking for him to decide to remarry.
On the death of his second wife, the source said, “If Pastor Bimbo’s death was shattering, Pastor Nomthi’s demise was a technical knock-out. It knocked Pastor down and out. He was inconsolable. He was very bothered about what people would say. It left him totally lifeless. There was nothing we could tell him. It took something deep out of him and some of us became afraid for him”.
