The incident reportedly happened in the early hours of Monday, August 25, after the couple allegedly got into a physical confrontation.

According to residents, Adenike was found unconscious and seriously injured in the house, while her husband was reportedly nowhere to be found.

A former Chairman of the Community Development Association, Adejimi Olawumi, said residents heard cries for help and rushed to the couple’s home, where they found Adenike lying in a pool of blood.

The community members reportedly began searching for Odukoya after discovering that he was missing.

Olawumi said they later received information that the cleric had been hit by a vehicle in Ifo, Ogun State. Police reportedly took him to a hospital, where he was identified.

The pastor’s younger sister also claimed that the couple had a history of disagreements and had previously sought help from family members after an altercation.

She said the couple visited her in April following a fight and that the matter was eventually settled at a police station.

Adenike was reportedly buried on the day of the incident, while Odukoya was buried on Wednesday, September 2.
