The family of Brother Johnson Fatai Olowosile, a respected cleric of the Apostolic Faith Church and Zonal Pastor of the church in Ikare-Akoko, Ondo State, has announced the burial arrangements for the late cleric, who passed away on September 16, 2026.
The deceased, who was born in 1959, was described by his family and members of the church as a beloved brother, father, uncle and husband who lived a life dedicated to the service of God and humanity.
According to the burial arrangements released by the family, a wake-keep in honour of the deceased will be held on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at the Apostolic Faith Church, Ilepa, Ikare-Akoko, Ondo State.
The wake-keep is scheduled to commence at 4:00 p.m., providing an opportunity for family members, friends, colleagues, church members and well-wishers to gather in remembrance and pay their last respects to the late cleric.
The funeral service has been scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, at the Apostolic Faith Church, opposite St. Michael Secondary School, Ijoka Road, Akure, Ondo State.
The service, which is expected to draw church members, Christian leaders, family members and sympathisers from within and outside the state, will commence at 10:00 a.m.
The family further announced that interment would follow immediately after the funeral service at the deceased’s compound, Onimalu Quarters, Ijoka Road, Akure.
Brother Olowosile was described by those who knew him as a committed servant of God who dedicated his life to the preaching of the gospel and the service of humanity.
His years of service in the Apostolic Faith Church, particularly as a minister and Zonal Pastor, endeared him to many worshippers who came under his spiritual leadership and guidance.
His death has therefore left a deep void among members of the church, with tributes continuing to pour in from those who described him as a devoted Christian and an instrument of God’s work.
As the church community and the family prepare to bid him farewell, they have continued to reflect on his commitment to the Christian faith, his dedication to the work of God and the impact he made during his lifetime.
The family, while expressing gratitude to God for what it described as a life well spent, has invited relatives, friends, church members and well-wishers to join them in the burial ceremonies.
With his passing, the family and the church community mourn the departure of a beloved servant of God, saying: “The soldier of Christ has laid down his weapon. Good night, our dearly beloved Brother Fatai Olowosile.”
