Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has  described the death of Pastor Dare Adeboye, son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, as shocking and sad.
Ortom in a statement by his press secretary, Terver Akase, said the demise of the young and vibrant minister of the gospel is a huge loss, not only to the Redeemed Christian Church of God but also to the entire Church in Nigeria.
He consoled the father of the deceased, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and encourage him to take solace in the fact that his son followed his footsteps in the service of God and died as a servant of the Lord.
He further said the avalanche of condolences and tributes from Nigerians home and abroad who knew Pastor Dare Adeboye attest to his good reputation as a man who was truly loved by the people.
The Governor prayed that God grants the deceased eternal rest and his family the strength to bear the painful loss.
