Late Pastor Akinseye

In what could be described as tragic moment, an auto crash claimed the lives of a couple, and eight other staunch members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) traveling from the monthly camp meeting on the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway to Ondo town.

Three of the victims, a Zonal Pastor in Ondo Province 2, Pastor Dominic Folorunso Akinseye, 52; his wife, Beatrice; and Pastor Festus Akinsoyinu Fadakinte, were staff of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.

The passengers of the bus were said to have left Redemption Camp earlier with the aim of getting back to Ondo for the wedding ceremony of a member of the Province slated for Saturday, May 2. 

Akinseye was a second term Chairman of the Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU, of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo. It was learnt that the General Overseer (GO) of the church pastor Enock Adejare Adeboye, visited the families of the deceased, the church and the college to commiserate with them.
