Reports began circulating on October 13, 2025, claiming that Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai, the celebrated Nigerian evangelist and founder of the Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association, has passed away at the age of 80. These unverified reports immediately sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms, leaving many followers and church members in shock.
The wave of speculation was triggered by a post from Prophet Joel Ogebe on social media, which read: “A giant has gone to be with the Lord. My father, my father, the chariot of Israel. Heaven rejoices. Uyo.” Although the post did not explicitly mention Rev. Ukpai’s name, social media users quickly connected the tribute to him, given his long-standing association with Uyo, the headquarters of his ministry.
Adding to the speculation, another Christian news platform shalored a captioned report stating, “A GENERAL TAKES A BOW! EVANGELIST UMA UKPAI HAS GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD. REST IN POWER SIR.” These posts fueled uncertainty as many questioned whether the evangelist had truly passed away.
As of now, there is no official confirmation from the Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association, Rev. Ukpai’s family members, or any verified news outlets. The lack of an official statement has intensified curiosity and concern among followers who regard him as one of Nigeria’s most influential religious figures.
Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai is renowned for his evangelistic outreach and decades of ministry that have inspired countless Christians across Nigeria and beyond. His potential passing would mark the end of an era in Nigerian evangelism, prompting prayers and tributes from believers worldwide.
While the truth remains unverified, the social media tributes and online discussions underscore the deep impact Rev. Ukpai has had on Christian communities. Followers and admirers are urged to await official confirmation before drawing conclusions about the evangelist’s health or demise.
