The preacher died less than two years after his 47-year-old South African wife, Nomthi Odukoya, passed. She died in November 2021 after a two-year battle with cancer.

They were married for 11 years and had two children.

He married Nomthi after his first wife, Bimbo, died in the ill-fated Sosoliso plane crash in 2005.

His union with Bimbo produced three children, including Jimmy — the star of Netflix’s Woman King movie.

In December 2021, the pastor lost his twin sister, Kehinde Hassan, to cancer.
