The wife of Apostle Lawrence Achudume, the General Overseer of Victory Life Bible Church, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Rev Fola Achudume, is dead.

She reportedly died early in the morning of Saturday after a brief illness. She was 55 years old.

The Assistant General Overseer of the church, Pastor Adeoye Adeyanju, reportedly broke the sad news during Sunday service in Abeokuta, the state capital.

Adeyanju noted that Rev. Fola Achudume died in the early hours of Saturday.

 â€œAt this juncture, I want to announce to VLBC members, everyone, and friends that in early hours of yesterday, our mother, Rev. Fola Achudume, has gone to be with the Lord.

 â€œShe will be 56 on September 6,” he said.

A close family friend and Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Ogun State, Mr Tunde Oladunjoye, also confirmed the demise of the marriage and leadership coach.

Oladunjoye described the transition of Achudume as the worst news of the year.

He said, “Unfortunately, people that I called have confirmed this worst news of the year, it is a family that I am very close to, and I am already on my way to their house to register my condolence. So hard to believe! So saddening! My consolation is that she has gone to join the saints.” (The PUNCH)
