The church quoted 2 Timothy 4:7-8 to conclude the announcement.
The Bible passage, which also formed its caption, read: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”
The church, located along the Oshodi-Mile Two Express Road by Cele Bus stop in Lagos, was founded 35 years ago. Osagie was one of the closest associates of the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa.
