The Editor-in-Chief of the defunct Nigeria Maritime 360 magazine and online newspaper, Prince Simeon Abiodun Soyele has passed on.
He was said to have returned from church on Sunday, May 19, 2024, after giving a sermon on the topic: “Holy Spirit” at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Agbara Olorun Ni Gbani at Egbeda and complained of chest pain before he was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.
The 68-old-year-old Owu Prince, hailed from Otileta Soyele royal family in Owu, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He was one of the candidates who contested for the Owu stool in 2023 but lost the exalted seat to the present occupier.
Prince Soyele was also the Group Managing Director (GMD) of Perceival Security and Safety Agencies Limited, a group of companies with head office in Abule Egba area of Lagos.
Perceival Agencies Ltd was the publisher of the now rested Nigeria Maritime 360 online newspaper.
The Sunday sermon by the deceased was said to have admonished members to be filled with the Holy Spirit because it is through the Holy Spirit that people could have an encounter with God and be blessed.
One of the members under his sermon on Sunday, who was devastated by the news of his demise disclosed that the late preacher told the congregation that the Holy Spirit gives power even as he was intermittently leading them in prayers of protection against death.
As at the time of writing this report, friends, family and sympathisers, who were still shell-shocked by the sudden demise of Prince Soyele, were still trooping into his Shasha home to pay their last respect
He is survived by wife, four children and grandchildren.
