He wrote: “Your passion for the salvation of souls was never in doubt. “Your commitment to prayers, both personal and corporate, was undeniable.
“You were a good Shepherd in words, indeed and in truth. “Pastor Monday Omokaro, you have heeded the final call and departed to take your place among the saints triumphant albeit you have left a vacuum on this side of eternity, in DCLM Edo State and DLSO, Edo State.”
Osazuwa advised religious leaders to prioritise adequate rest while also encouraging church members to intentionally look after their spiritual leaders. He stressed the need for proper care and support within the church community.
In his words:
“We lost Pastor Monday O. Having seen the internet flooded with his pictures, I guess it’s true. I was with him this Friday, and he prayed with us all through the vigil.
