The founder of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), died in Lagos on Saturday evening shortly after concluding a programme at his church.
According to TheCable, the Man of God had a stroke two months ago and was flown by air ambulance to Turkey for treatment. He recently returned to Nigeria after treatment.
The man of God passed at 57, he would have celebrated his 58th birthday on June 12, 2021.
The church management and Emmanuel TV confirmed his death in a statement issued on Sunday. The cause of his death was not stated.
However, in a video the late prophet posted on his Twitter page two days ago, the man of God spoke about the current situation (COVID-19 pandemic) which would prevent him from celebrating his upcoming birthday.
According to him, it was therefore not going to be easy for him to celebrate his birthday.
