Top government functionaries, governor of Ondo state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and his wife, Kemi, who were at the burial rites could not also control their tears.

In his sermon, Bishop of Akure diocese, Rt. Reverend Borokini advised the people to get close to God in their dealings in life.

He said no matter what an individual possess, it expires the day death comes and takes one away.

The cleric advised the people to be mindful of their dealings on earth, saying one day, there will be a call to eternal rest.

"No matter what you have, it will expire the day you die, you will be called to eternal rest one day, it may be soon, you must know that the promises of God for mankind are true and just, be mindful of your dealings on earth" Borokini said.


He said God's promises on mankind are true and just, urging the people to remain steadfast and committed to the cause of God.
