Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has lost his first son.
Pastor Dare Adeboye, who is the third child and the first son of Pastor EA Adeboye, died at the age of 42. He would have turned 43 next month June 9, 2021.
Dare Adeboye was a life coach, visionary leader, motivator, bridge builder and the first son of Baba Adeboye.
According to reports, Pastor Dare Adeboye officiated service on Sunday, May 2, and showed no sign of being ill.
He died in his sleep on Wednesday, May 5, in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, where he was based with his family.
According to an unconfirmed report, he retired to his bedroom on Wednesday and asked not to be disturbed.
When his wife Temiloluwa Adeboye noticed her husband’s unusual sleeping hours and could not reach him on phone, she raised alarm and he was discovered dead. Pastors in the church were called to pray for him, all to no avail.
The younger Adeboye was neither sick nor on medication when the tragic incident happened.
