The 42-year-old third surviving child of the popular cleric, as gathered, died in his sleep on Wednesday in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, where he was based with his family.
Until his death, he was the Assistant Pastor in charge of Region (Youth) 35, and was said to have ministered the previous day.
The young Pastor Adeboye, was said to have retired to his bed and did not wake up, and upon noticing this ugly development, his wife, Temiloluwa, was said to have raised the alarm.
As reportedly gathered, “He was not sick and did not complain of anything before the incident. Pastors in the church were summoned to pray for him, all to no avail.”
Pastor Adeboye, would have been 43 years old next month, June, was happily married with children.
