Aleto Community Grieves RCCG Pastor Steve Eyo's Death

Deacon Steve Eyo, the pastor in charge of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Glorious People Assembly in Aleto, Eleme Local Government Area, Rivers State, passed away while preaching at a funeral service for a female church member last Friday. Residents described Eyo as a father figure and peacemaker who significantly impacted the community.

During a visit by LEADERSHIP on Sunday morning, the church service continued under the leadership of a man believed to be Eyo's assistant, but the congregation of about 30 people was visibly mournful. Eyo's family, including his son Godwin, chose not to speak to the media about his death.

However, community member Osaro John shared his experiences with Eyo, noting his support during personal challenges and plans for a trip to Lagos to meet Pastor Adeboye. Another resident, Cynthia Goba, expressed disbelief over Eyo's sudden passing, highlighting his cheerful nature and connections with community members.
