Four gospel ministers, including the popular street evangelist, Evangelist Ayodeji David, also known as Kekere Jesu, lost their lives in a tragic auto crash along the Ikorodu–Sagamu road in Ogun State over the weekend.
The Public Information Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun State, Florence Okupe, confirmed the incident in a statement issued on Monday.
The deceased were identified as Kekere Jesu, Evangelist Iyanu Joseph,(intepreter) Monjolajesu Oluwapamilerin, and Opeyemi Adesina.
According to Okupe, the crash occurred when the vehicle conveying the gospel ministers collided with another in a high-impact accident that claimed the lives of all four occupants on the spot. The crash, which involved multiple vehicles, reportedly claimed over 24 lives in total.
Preliminary investigations, according to the FRSC, suggest that overspeeding and poor visibility were the major causes of the accident.
Evangelist Ayodeji David, fondly called Kekere Jesu, was known for his dynamic approach to street evangelism, passionate preaching, and active presence on social media. He was reportedly en route to a ministry assignment when the crash occurred.
He has since been buried.
