Fans and colleagues are currently mourning the demise of Gospel singer Taiwo Adegbodu, one half of the Yoruba gospel duo Adegbodu Twins.
The sad news of Taiwo’s demise was made public on Sunday via a post on the group’s official Facebook page, which is managed by their team.
In the emotional message, the family lamented his sudden passing, describing the loss as deeply painful and difficult to bear.
Fellow gospel musician Esther Igbekele also mourned Taiwo’s death on her Instagram page, where she shared a photo of Adegbodu and paid tribute to him in Yoruba.
As of the time of filing this report, the cause of death had not been made public.
Taiwo performed alongside his twin brother, Kehinde Adegbodu, and both rose to prominence in the Yoruba gospel music scene after the release of their debut album, Faratimi (Lean on Me), in 1999.
The duo came to prominence for their spiritually uplifting and culturally rooted sound, earning a strong following within the Christian music community.
Their popular songs include Shower Your Blessing, God Concert, Emi Mimo, Igbagbo Dun, Ma Beru and Adura Mi Gba.
