The Lead Pastor of The Evening Church in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, Runcie Mike, has passed on!
This comes only two days after he officiated the funeral service of one of his church members, the 36-year-old daughter of a well-known broadcaster.
According to reports, the Pastor, whose church is located at the Shopping Mall, Tropicana Centre, Uyo, passed away on Saturday, July 1, in Uyo after a short illness. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Initially, when the news emerged, some church members thought it was fake. However, the church leadership later confirmed the sad news.
The church requested prayers from the body of Christ during this time of grief, particularly for the Pastor’s immediate family.
“In this time of grief, we enjoin the body of Christ to hold us up in prayers and most especially, His immediate family,” the church announced.
The tragic occurrence occurred at Brimley Road and Eglinton Avenue East just after 7 o’clock in the evening, according to the Toronto Police.
“Information was received that two individuals had been fighting in the plaza. One of them had some serious injuries that required an emergency run to a local hospital,” said Toronto Police Service Duty Inspector Jeff Bangild at the scene Sunday night.
Unfortunately, one person has succumbed to their injuries. The victim in this matter has not yet been identified as the investigation is ongoing.”
