The accident that occurred on Saturday, April 5, along the Shagamu–Ibadan Expressway claimed 22 lives. Among them were four people dear to me: Prophet Ayodeji, also known as Kekere Jesu, Evangelist Iyanu Joseph, Prophet Ayodeji’s fiancée, and the wife of Prophet Ayodeji’s elder brother.
It still feels unreal. May their souls rest in perfect peace. Lord, we bring before You the souls of these beloved ones who departed so suddenly. Grant them eternal rest, and comfort the brokenhearted. May their memories bring light and hope, even in this time of deep sorrow.
