Details surrounding the death of Prophet Ajanaku, the former pastor of Tope Alabi has been released.
The founder and pastor in charge of the Christ
Revival Church International located in Baruwa in
Ayobo-Ipaja, Lagos, died in his sleep on Saturday
August 17, 2013.
It was gathered that the controversial prophet died
in his sleep on Saturday after a nurse administered
sedatives to calm down his nerves after his
situation got worse.
He reportedly didn’t wake up from his sleep.
His dead body was brought into his house in
Lagos from his hometown (Gbogan) on Sunday
evening.
According to sources, the elegant preacher
reportedly fell ill about 8 weeks ago and after all
medical methods to get him well proved abortive,
he was taken to his home town for traditional
treatment.
Throughout his downtime, his church members
were told he’d travelled abroad to rest not knowing
he had been taken to his hometown.
This was the reason for his absence at the church’s
anniversary on the 18th of July, 2013.
During the church service yesterday, most of his
church members didn’t believe he has died with
many calling his death a hoax.
Most of them argued that he could not have died,
insisting that he travelled abroad to rest due to his
hectic schedules.
According to reliable sources, some of his church
members were hostile to news men who visited the
church to confirm this report..
Late Prophet Ajanaku’s corpse was taken to a local
mortuary around 11am on Monday morning.
A member of the congregation was seen directing
another member to arrange for security personnel
to accompany the corpse to the mortuary.
Church members who trooped to the home of the
man they called ‘Daddy’, were directed to report at
the church at Baruwa while the top leaders of the
church were planning to take the corpse to the
mortuary.
Late Prophet Ajanaku became popular after his
association with gospel singer Tope Alabi.
The two split over sex allegations few weeks before
his death.
Tope Alabi who is currently in Toronto, Ontario
Canada was one of the earliest callers at the
residence of the deceased on Sunday.
In another development, a neigbhour to late
Prophet Ajanaku said his followers believe he’ll
come back to life.
As a result, several prayer sessions have been held
since he died.
“He died since Saturday, but the church members
have decided to keep sealed lips.Instead, they have
engaged in marathon prayer sessions. They held a
vigil on Saturday where they prayed fervently for
him to resurrect, but nothing happened.
“The church members were shouting: ‘Prophet
Ajanaku, wake up’ throughout Saturday night,”
Mrs. Rita Ade said.
Unknown to the public, Late Prophet Ajanaku was
arrested and detained few months ago by security
officials after an embarrassing public fight with
Tope Alabi.
Weeks after his arrest, he reportedly fell ill and the
rest is history.
Late Prophet Ajanaku was a muslim man with a
solid Islamic background. He converted to
Christianity on arriving Lagos few years back.
According to his profile, the late preacher tagged
Bad boy for satan was denied access to basic
education. He didn’t attend primary, secondary or
university.
“Illiteracy was a big title for him because of his
chronic state. He understood and could
communicate in Yoruba language only.” He later
attended the Winners Church Bible school
He is survived by a wife, aged mother and children
(a boy and a girl).
