Mrs Odukoya reportedly sustained severe head injuries and lost consciousness during the incident.
According to the source, after discovering she was unresponsive, the evangelist left the premises.
The couple's son raised the alarm, prompting neighbours and members of the local Community Development Association (CDA) to rush to the scene in an attempt to help. Their efforts proved futile, as Mrs Odukoya succumbed to her injuries.
Body found on Lagos-Abeokuta expressway
According to the source, by 6:00 AM, word reached the community that a man's body had been found along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway in the Iyana Coker area of Ifo.
