The Nigerian gospel music community has been thrown into mourning following the death of renowned gospel artiste, Taiwo Adegbodu, one half of the popular Adegbodu Twins.
The sad news broke on Sunday after his twin brother and ministry partner, Kehinde Adegbodu, announced the development in an emotional message shared on social media.
In the grief-laden post, Kehinde expressed deep anguish over the sudden loss of his brother, describing it as a painful and overwhelming experience. He lamented the void left behind, not only in their family but also in the gospel ministry they built together over the years.

Colleagues, church leaders and fans have begun paying tributes, celebrating Taiwo’s dedication to spreading the gospel through music and his contribution to the growth of contemporary worship in the country.
