Iba Adams expressed shock that the shining light of the young Adeboye went dim at such a younger age when his spiritual strength was needed most.

His words:

"I was short of words when the news broke out that we lost Pastor Oluwadare Adeboye. It was one loss too many and I feel pained that we lost the younger Adeboye at such a time when he was still active in the service of the lord."

He described the deceased as an exemplary young man filled with the holy spirit and talent. The Yoruba chief added:

"At this grieving moment, I share in your grief and that of the Christian community all over the world, but I am sure you will definitely take solace in the words of the Lord who giveth and taketh."

He prayed to God to give Pastor Adeboye and the rest of the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
