CITIZENS COMPASS— A popular Gospel singer, Toun Soetan, is dead.
Her death occurred barely a week after the death of Taiwo, one of the twins of the Adegbodu brothers.
Toun Soetan reigned in the 90s and early 20s.
Some of her popular songs include: Darling Jesus and On the Mountain.
The Ibadan-based singer in Oyo State reportedly died on Friday following a long battle with illness.
Soetan would have been 73 years old on June 18, 2026.
She celebrated her 70th birthday at Orita-Mefa Baptist Church in Ibadan, on June 18, 2024 with a programme titled Seven Hours of Praise.
Born in Lagos, sister Toun Soetan grew up in the famous Beere of Ibadan among 28 children in a Muslim Polygamous family.
She gave her life to Jesus Christ at a three day Crusade at Oritamefa Baptist Church, Ibadan in 1974. There she went up the ladder as a Baptist and teacher, almost becoming the Head of the famous Oritamefa Baptist Schools until she was called by God to be a Gospel Musician.
