Pastor Dare Adeboye, the son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide, Enoch Adeboye, is dead.

Reports has it that the 42-year-old, 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.

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.

“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,” a source added.

Several leaders of the church, who confirmed the incident, said they could not comment on it.

He said, “It is true. The incident happened in Eket where he was based. I don’t have the details for now. Maybe before the end of today, we will issue a statement.”

Dare would have been 43 years old next month, June.

Last year, on his 42nd birthday, his dad, Adeboye on a social media post described him as his first miracle child.

He wrote on his Facebook page, “Our first miracle child. We pray that God will keep his miraculous working power in your life and all those who need a miracle today, will use you as a point of contact for their own in Jesus’ name. (Amen) love from Dad, Mom, and the whole Adeboye dynasty.”

His sudden death has thrown the Redeemed Church and christiandom into mourning.

Health workers in Ogun State said they would withdraw their services at the public health institutions Tuesday midnight due to the alleged high rate of insecurity in the state.

The health workers in the state under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives and Nigerian Medical Association disclosed this to our correspondent on Tuesday.

While the chairman of the NANNM Roseline Solarin affirmed the strike action through a communique, the chairman NMA, Dr. Oladayo Ogunlaja, confirmed the planned strike in a phone interview with our correspondent.

In the communique issued by NANNM, dated April 12 and addressed to the Commissioner for Health in the state, Dr. Tomi Coker, the nurses condemned the lackadaisical attitude of the government towards the release of their colleagues.

In the communique, titled, “Notification of withdrawal of services’, the NANNM described the approach adopted by the government as appalling.

Ogunlaja said the strike was a joint resolution between the NMA and NANNM, saying that they are going ahead with the strike despite the release of their abducted colleagues until the government does the needful.

He said except and until the government ensures the safety of health workers at their workplaces, the strike would continue.

He said, “There is a lot of security challenges in the state now. I want the state government to address them before we go back to work.

“To make where we work a safe place so that we can work without any fear. The state is now becoming unsafe for everybody living in the state.

The National Leader of All Progressives Congress, (APC,) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu says he has nowhere to go if Nigeria breaks up. The former Lagos State governor said he believes that Nigeria will not break up. Tinubu, who spoke at a special Ramadan prayer on Sunday, warned that Nigeria cannot risk secession and another civil war. He stressed that the country was better as a united entity, adding that Nigeria was yet to recover from the Biafra civil war. There have been agitations in the South-East and South-West for the country’s break-up for separate nations – Biafra and Oduduwa respectively. Tinubu, however, discouraged it, saying Nigeria cannot afford another war, considering the lasting effects Nigeria Civil War of 1967-1970 has had on the country. According to Tinubu: “God will not allow Nigeria to experience war. If we say Nigeria should separate, people should remember what war caused in Sudan and Iraq. Such war does not end in time. We are yet to recover from the civil war. We are better together. I have nowhere I am going. Whoever has experienced war in the past will not pray for such. Nigeria will not separate; it’s not acceptable to us. Our prayer is for prosperity and more wealth for the country.”
