Mrs Abidemi Ogunnusi, widow of Deacon Francis Ogunnusi, the preacher who died slumped and died while preaching against ritual killings in Ogun State, said the incident was like a season film.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Onikoko, Abeokuta, was thrown into confusion when Ogunnusi died while preaching against the ‘get-rich-quick’ syndrome during a Sunday service.
The deceased’s widow while speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta, said she was in the church and witnessed how her husband slumped and died on the pulpit.
She added that she joined a few other pastors to pray for his restoration while he was being taken to a nearby hospital.
The widow said, “It is a thing of shock, it is an unending film in my life. I pray we live long to reap the fruits of our labour but he couldn’t, he did not, it is sudden, because we both laboured together.
“He was supposed to be reaping his labours now that things are getting better for the entire family, the extended family , this now happened.
“It is a season film, it’s a shock to me and I pray God will take care of me, the children and all the family he left behind.”
She noted that there was no sign of sickness or weakness before his sudden death.
She said, “my husband, Oluwole Francis Ogunnusi is a very caring, loving husband with act of humility. Open minded, he is ready to satisfy others before himself, that’s him.
“There was no strange sign. He was healthy and agile. I haven’t watched the trending clip about my husband’s death but I was in the church while he was preaching and there was no sign of tiredness or weakness.”
