By Sixteen years after his first wife died in a plane crash, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, founder of Fountain of Life Church, is again bereaved.
The renowned clergyman took to his Instagram page on Tuesday evening to announce the passing of his wife, Nomthi Odukoya who had a two-year battle with cancer.
He wrote, “With deep regret and gratitude to God, I have to announce the passing of my wife, Pastor Nomthi Odukoya.
“She battled cancer for the better part of two years. She stood on the word of God, and she fought.
“She gave me 11 beautiful years of marriage and two wonderful boys, who I know will be very significant in life. I loved her with all my heart but who am I to fight the will of God.
“The truth is, at one point in our lives, we all will have to say goodbye. So for now, till we meet again in glory, Goodbye Nomthi.”
Odukoya married Nomthi, a South African, years after his first wife, Bimbo, died on December 10, 2005 in a plane crash which occurred in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.
