A Pastor at the Evangelical Church Winning All, Onikoko, Abeokuta in Ogun State, has reportedly slumped and died while preaching during a service in the church.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday when Ogunnusi was preaching against the ‘get-rich-quick’ syndrome.
There have been cases of ritual killings in recent times in Ogun State and other parts of the country as the state recorded about three cases in different parts of the state, last month.
Ogunnusi was also said to be the Baale of Onikoko, a community, near the Panseke area in Abeokuta metropolis.
With this development, the church was allegedly thrown into confusion when the Deacon suddenly slumped with a microphone in his hand.
Delivering his sermon in Yoruba, Ogunnusi said “The money you make through unlawful means, killing people, sucking human blood; when death comes, it will belong to another person”.
However, when the interpreter was still trying to present the words in English language, the man slumped and threw the church into commotion.
He was reportedly rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, where he was pronounced dead.
A congregant said: “The man was not the pastor of that church, he was just an elder. He was the Baale of Onikoko. But he was the one that delivered the sermon on Sunday.
“He was talking about death and people who make money by killing other people. All of a sudden, he collapsed. He was rushed to the FMC, but he died. We don’t know what happened. I was very scared. Everything was disrupted. We just shared the grace and went home,” the worshipper said.
The source could not confirm whether the deceased was battling any health challenges.
It was gathered that the lifeless body of Chief Ogunnusi had been deposited in the mortuary.
