In his sermon, the Anglican Bishop of Akure Diocese of Church of Nigeria, Simeon Borokini said Christians should not be scared of death as everybody would die at the appointed time.
Borokini said everybody would give an account of his or her stewardship on earth when they face their creator in heaven.
The Cleric called on governments at all level to do the needful in tackling insecurity in the country.
He lamented the high rate of people being killed by armed robbers, Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram and bandits in different parts of the country.
According to him, people are afraid to step out of their houses because of fear of being killed saying that staying at home will not guarantee the safety of anybody.
Borokini told the sympathizers to be ready to meet the Lord either through death or rapture.
He prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed and the fortitude for the widower, Idowu, children and grandchildren to bear the loss.
