He served in the Family Life Directorate, and coached men and women as they embarked upon building families.

“As a dear egbon to me, even though you were older, we were close friends and I thank you for allowing me to be your pastor and spiritual father.

“The thought that I will return to church and not see you again on this side of the divide, is unbelievable. I have not been able to process this loss, however, I am sure of how much we will all miss you”, Adefarasin wrote.

He called solicited intercession Akinbami’s wife of over 30 years, Pastor Tolu; his children, his children-inlaw, and grandchildren.
