Pastor Fred Attabo, who led Living Faith in Lokoja, passed away on Friday at the age of 68.
While confirming Attabo’s death, the church’s associate pastor, Edwin Okolo, described it as “very shocking.”
Okolo, on the other hand, promised to release a statement but did not provide many specifics regarding Pastor Attabo’s passing.
Naija News learned that Attabo collapsed and passed away in his office shortly after a morning prayer service at the Lokogoma church in the Kogi metropolis of Lokoja.
“Our senior pastor slumped in his office shortly after Friday’s Covenant Hour of Prayer this morning,” a parishioner who spoke about the incident said.
“We took him to the Specialist Hospital in Lokoja for treatment when it happened.
“We have taken his body to the mortuary at Specialist Hospital, Lokoja,” the statement reads. “We accepted his death in good faith.”
