CAN mourns as Atilade dies at 76

Archbishop Atilade

Otubu said: “It’s shocking to us in CAN. He was a good man, who contributed a lot to CAN. We will surely miss him massively.

“May the Lord comfort his family and CAN because this is certainly a big loss,” he said.

Lagos State CAN Chairman Apostle Alex Bamgbola said the deceased was a good man, who served God wholeheartedly.

He said: “He did the best he could do for the body of Christ. He was a great leader as a founding member of CAN in Lagos; he worked very hard for CAN in Lagos.

“We pray that the Lord will reward him with eternity.”

The secretary of the association, Dr Israel Akinadewo, said the late Atilade was a good soldier of Christ, who stood for fairness and equity.

“Baba has done his best in fighting the cause of Christianity in the nation. I wish him eternal rest,” Dr Akinadewo said.

The deceased’s Personal Assistant, Rev. Victor Ojebode, described him as an incredibly talented leader with a good heart.

Ojebode said: “He was more than a boss. He was a father with the interests of the masses and his subordinates at heart.

“This is a great loss and we will sure miss every good thing he stood for.”

The cleric left behind his widow, a former Chief Judge of Lagos, Justice Funmilola Atilade (retd) and three children – Adefemi, Adepemi and Adebunmi.
