On May 18, the General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor
Tunde Bakare, collapsed while delivering a lecture in Lagos state and
was rushed to the Reddington Hospital.
After weeks of keeping mum, the man of God Bakare has now addressed the issue.
The pastor, who was speaking last Sunday on the stage of his Latter
Rain Assembly church said the cause of his collapse was exhaustion, too
much work and too much people’s pressure.
According to him, his exhaustion was partly caused by his travels
between Lagos, Abuja, London, and Atlanta, US, adding that he had
ignored the warning signs in the days leading to his collapse.
He told members of his church that he was discharged with a clean
bill of health and is now on compulsory medication of two liters of
water per day.
The cleric also talked about a premonition he had during a dream.
He said: “One afternoon I had a dream. It was an unusual dream. I
saw a ring on my little finger. I don’t wear two rings, I only wear
one. I looked up and coming from my left side was an unusual giant I’d
never seen before. It was unusually humongous and wore an Igbo attire. I
didn’t know its tribe. It was a giant and it was coming towards me. All
that I knew to do was raise the ring up. As soon as I raised it, it
laughed and went on. I went to the crowd addressed the crowd n woke up.”
He however, could not explain what the giant could mean or why it wore Igbo attire.
