The President of Nigerian Baptist Convention, Rev. Israel Akanji, has said Prophet T.B. Joshua died at a time the country needed him most.
He described the death of the late preacher as a big loss to Nigeria.
A statement yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, by Nigerian Baptist Convention’s spokesman, Pastor Eben Durodola, also described the late prophet as humble, peaceful and lover of the poor.
Rev. Akanji said Nigeria needed his prayer, particularly for insecurity, which the country is currently battling to overcome.
He commiserated with the family and church of the late priest and prayed God to comfort and grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
Meanwhile, authorities of Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) have opened a condolence registers at the church in Ikotun, Lagos State.
Two registers were opened at three of the five church entrances in which members and other sympathisers signed and paid their last respects to the late prophet.
