Taiwo Odukoya, Senior Pastor of the Fountain of Life Church in Lagos, has lost his twin sister, Kehinde Hassan, after a difficult battle with cancer.

Mrs Hassan’s death was confirmed by Mr Odukoya’s daughter, who posted a condolence on her Facebook page.

“My Dearest Aunty K, my birthing partner and one of my closest aunties. You were always there for me when I needed my mother the most.

“You held my hand and encouraged me, to say I will miss you is such an understatement. Rest on Aunty, love you,” Ms Odukoya Ijogun wrote.
