God to rise up for the nation and put an end to what he termed the “untimely
transitions”.

blood brother Bishop Simon Oye Daniel (Aged 56) without notice.”
He added that late on Monday, “one of our Drivers, Toyin
Ogunbanwo was killed by a Hit and Run Driver” on his way home after work.

to rest in peace.
