Simon Ateba, the publisher of TODAY NEWS AFRICA, in Washington D.C. wrote in a Facebook post: “My last pastor in Nigeria, a good man, Ituah Ighodalo, woke up today to realize his wife, ex-beauty queen Ibidun Ighodalo, had died. He officiated at the funeral of Biola Okoya’s son, Deji, this morning. He preached about life. What is life? Watch.”
Mr. Ighodalo is the founder and senior pastor at the Trinity Church in Lagos, Nigeria.
