A famous Kaduna-based Pastor and the leading Pastor of The King Worship Chapel and Ministry, Kaduna, Rev. Azzaman David, has been killed in a motor accident.
Azzaman was travelling on Saturday from Makurdi, Benue State, to his base in Kaduna.
Confirming the sad news in a statement, the Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, described the cleric’s death as a great loss to Christian community.
An associate, Rev. Mohammed Mohammed, made a post on Facebook: “REV Azzaman Azzaman had an accident on his way back from Makurdi. He died alone in the car. May he rest in peace. May the Lord comfort us in the name of Jesus.”
Azzaman, as leading Pastor of The King Worship Chapel and Ministry, Inc., had a well-known presence on social media, where he engaged in frequent interfaith discussions and theological debates.
His online presence, particularly on Facebook, earned him a devoted following among young Christians and religious thinkers.
The late cleric had reportedly been in Makurdi for several days of evangelical outreach.
CAN said: “Evangelist Azzaman was a courageous preacher, an unapologetic defender of the Christian faith, and a passionate advocate for the rights of persecuted believers. His life and ministry were marked by boldness, spiritual conviction, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice.
“Kaduna has truly lost a great soldier of Christ. Evangelist Azzaman stood tall in defense of Christianity, fearlessly speaking out against injustice and persecution. He was a prophetic voice, a bridge-builder, and a spiritual father to many across denominations and communities.
“Though his departure leaves a great vacuum in the Christian community, we rejoice in the assurance that he has finished his race and now rests in the eternal glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
“CAN extends the body’s heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, congregation, and all who were touched by his life and ministry.
“May his soul rest in peace and may his legacy continue to inspire courage and faith among believers”.
