NewsOne Nigeria reports that Pastor Dare Adeboye, third son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is dead.

Pastor Adeboye son before his death, was a Youth Provincial Pastor in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, south-south Nigeria.
The wife of the deceased Pastor, Temiloluwa, was said to have raised the alarm, a source familiar with the development said.
“He was not sick and did not complain of anything before the incident. Pastors in the church were summoned to pray for him, all to no avail,” the source told PUNCH newspaper.
Several leaders of the church, who confirmed the incident, said they could not comment on it, PUNCH reports.
Last year during his 42nd birthday, his father, Pastor Adeboye described the deceased as a miracle child.
He wrote on his Facebook page, “Our first miracle child. We pray that God will keep his miraculous working power in your life and all those who need a miracle today, will use you as a point of contact for their own in Jesus’ name. (Amen) love from Dad, Mom, and the whole Adeboye dynasty.”
The Head of Media and Public Relations, RCCG, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, however, confirmed the tragedy on Thursday morning.
Olubiyi said, “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.”
Meanwhile, Pastor Dare would have been 43 years old next month, June. Dare was happily married with children.
