According to PUNCH, leaders of the church have confirmed the incident but are yet to comment on it.

“It is true. The incident happened in Eket where he was based. I don’t have the details for now. Maybe before the end of today, we will issue a statement,” said Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, Head of Media and Public Relations, RCCG.

Dare’s brother, Leke Adeboye also confirmed the sad news via an Instagram post that read,

The righteous man perishes [at the hand of evil], and no one takes it to heart; faithful and devout men are taken away while no one understands that the righteous person is taken away [to be spared] from disaster and evil.

Several Nigerians have taken to social media to express their shock and send prayers and condolences to the Adeboye family. Here’s what they have to say:
