The service was officiated by Archbishop Yemi Fatade assisted by Bishop J.A Akindele, Bishop J. O Oridota, Bishop Peters Olorunfunmi and Rev. Solomon Yinka Adeleke.
The first bible reading was done by Balogun’s son while the second was done by his daughter.
During the sermon, Bishop Akindele charged the congregation about God’s purpose for every mortal on earth. “We are created to fulfill God’s purpose. Time is period which things happen. There is time for everything on earth and God gave us time to fulfill his purpose on earth,” he said.
