Members at the Church of the Brethren (EYN) Moduganari in Maiduguri, Borno State, were thrown into confusion on Sunday following the death of their pastor, Reverend Alaku Vincent.
The tragedy struck when Vincent suddenly slumped and died during a child dedication ceremony in the church.
According to Punch, efforts to revive Vincent were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead shortly after.
While the cause of death has not been officially disclosed, church members and colleagues have taken to social media to mourn the loss of their beloved pastor.
In a Facebook post, the District Church Secretary of Church Brethren of Nigeria, Timothy Hammajam, described the deceased as âa visionary leader with focus.â
He added, âKBC DCM 2003 graduating class will ever miss your elderly and prophetic words. May God comfort EYN and your family.â
Another church member with the Facebook name Prince Malikson Papaman shared a tribute, describing Vincentâs departure as leaving an âunfillable voidâ but took comfort in the Bibleâs assurance that his death is but a sleep.
He said, âJust a few hours ago, he stood confidently on the altar⊠passionately shepherding his flock.
âHis powerful message still resonates in my mind, as he emphasized the importance of family unity in worship.
âLittle did I know it would be his final sermon.
âRest in eternal peace, Rev. Vincent Alaku. Until we meet again.â
