HOW PASTOR DARE DIED!
The 42-year-old pastor, who was the third surviving child of the revered cleric, died in his sleep on Wednesday in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, where he was based with his family.
It was reliablyĀ gathered that the deceased, who was the Assistant Pastor in charge of Region (Youth) 35, had ministered the previous day.

He was said to have retired to his bed and did not wake up.

An insider source said 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.
