The Senior Pastor, Trinity House, Ituah Ighodalo, on Sunday morning conducted funeral service hours after receiving news of the death of his wife, Ibidunni Ighodalo.
The cleric, who conducted the funeral service of Deji Okoya, the grandson of industrialist, Razak Okoya, said he was shattered by the death of his wife but life must go on.
At the funeral, the cleric spoke about how transient life is and how important it is to live in accordance with the will of God.
Ituah is normally cheerful but he was sombre and quite philosophical in the video obtained by newsmen.
He said, “For the past 72 and 84 hours, everywhere tensed, confused, frightening, and disturbing but here we are today. I mean, if they had told us last week Sunday that we will be here to celebrate Ayodeji’s life, we’ll say it’s not possible. She was ill, no doubt, we were believing God that she will be well.
“But here we are right now and here she is. And of course, a lot of you know that I really shouldn’t be here but that’s how life is. So, this morning, I received a call that shattered my life but life must go on.”
Ituah and Ibidunni were married for 13 years before her sudden demise in Port Harcourt in the wee hours of Sunday.
