Primate
of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, on
Sunday, said the late Most Rev. Abiodun Adetiloye, would continue to be
remembered for his efforts in evangelism and eradication of secret societies in
the church.
The Archbishop in a statement on the death of
Adetiloye, described him as “a battle-axe in God’s hands, a missionary par
excellence and the Apostle of time”.
Adetiloye was the Primate of the Church of
Nigeria (Anglican Communion) from 1988 to December 1999.
He died on Friday, 11 days to his 83rd birthday.
Okoh said, “Bishop Adetiloye, who was educated both
locally and in the United Kingdom, became Bishop of Ekiti in 1970 where he
faced head-long, the menace of secret societies and cults, first in Ekiti
Diocese.
“He, not only made inroads but broke the backbone;
with the result that today, secret societies and cults have nowhere to hide
their heads in the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion).”
