CITIZENS COMPASS— The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has lost Pastor Ifeoluwa Akindayomi, the son of the Church Founder, Pa Josiah Akindayomi.
He was expected to relocate to Canada to join his immediate family when the unexpected happened.
The 63–year-old cleric was said to have passed on a few days before fully relocating to the foreign land.
A family source confirmed this on Tuesday.
Insiders revealed that Pastor Ifeoluwa’s family had long urged him to move out of Nigeria, but he repeatedly chose to stay back to focus on his ministerial duties and thriving printing business.
Friends and church members have continued to express shock over his passing, describing him as a humble man who shunned the spotlight despite being the last son of RCCG’s revered founder.
One of his close friends and colleague, Debo Akinyemi, described him as a quiet, gentle soul who lived a life of humility and service.
“He lived a quiet life and never sought attention,” Akinyemi said. “He was content with his business and service in God’s vineyard. He was humble, kind-hearted, and deeply loved by everyone who knew him.”
Recalling their long friendship that began at Molusi College in Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State, Akinyemi said the late pastor was the definition of calm and grace.
“He was a perfect gentleman who spoke with care and treated people with respect,” he said. “He never fought for recognition or position in the church. He truly loved God and served faithfully. His death is a huge loss.”
The passing of Pastor Ifeoluwa Akindayomi has left the RCCG family and his loved ones deeply heartbroken, especially as he was said to be looking forward to reuniting with his family abroad after years of separation.
The late cleric was said to be the last born of his father.
He died on Sunday November 2, 2025.
His death came barely 45 years after that of his father and seven months after the transition of his older brother, Pastor Kolade Akindayomi, who died on May 4 2025.
Citizens Compass reported that the Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye lost his son, Dare Adeboye, to the cold arms of death on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at the age of 42.
