A pastor identified as Reverend Alaku Vincent, has died during a child dedication service at the Church of the Brethren (EYN) Moduganari, Maiduguri, Borno State.
According to Sahara Reporters, the tragic incident occurred on Sunday while the pastor was leading the ceremony.
Vincent reportedly collapsed in the middle of the dedication and lost consciousness. Despite immediate efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead shortly after the collapse.
The cause of death remains unknown at this time.
A church member, Prince Malikson Papaman, also shared a tribute, recalling the pastor’s final sermon: “Just a few hours ago, he stood confidently on the altar… passionately shepherding his flock.
“His powerful message still resonates in my mind, as he emphasized the importance of family unity in worship. Little did I know it would be his final sermon.”
Papaman further expressed the grief of the community, stating that Vincent’s departure has left an “unfillable void” but found solace in scripture, adding, “Rest in eternal peace, Rev. Vincent Alaku. Until we meet again.”
