He call on every Nigerian to dedicate their lives to the attainment of the country's potentials as this is the best honour that could be done to the me-mories of the victims of the Dana Plane crash

Pastor Adefarasin ann-ounced that the church has set up a trust fund called 'Akinola Alumo-deji Trust Fund' and called on all to contribute to the fund.'

As we celebrate his life well lived, we have deemed it fit to establish a trust fund to secure the future of his wife and his children'.

He promised the fami-ly that the church will stand by the late pa-stor's wife and children

The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olumodeji in her tribute said 'my 'Bobo' as I fondly called you. You came into my life like an angel and left as one. What is life without you? You taught me so many things about life and you made me who I am tod-ay. Loving you made my life so beautiful and am so delighted to that we journeyed through this path of life together though for a short but splendid and exciting period.
