We Spent N96m On Obadare’s Burial, Son Reveals Late Obadare

The burial of late Apostle Timothy Obadare of the World Soul
Winning Evangelistic Ministry, WOSEM, who was buried last
week in Ilesa, Osun State gulped N96 million, according to his
eldest son, Pastor Paul Obadare.
The Osun State Government had released N35 million for the
event, but Obadare’s son said the family spent more than that
amount.
According to him, the casket in which Obadare was was
buried cost N5 million. N61 million was also spent on the
construction of a mausoleum for the late man of God, while
another N30 million was spent on entertainment.
Paul, who commended the Osun State Government for the
donation, said the money given by the state government was
part of the amount spent. He said many other people
contributed to the burial.
The burial of the late seer was very grand and a beauty to
see, but observers say N96 million was too huge an amount to
be spent on the burial of a humble man of God such as
Obadare.
Obadare, a blind seer, was buried last weekend at Ilesa, Osun
State in a ceremony that brought thousands of Nigerians
together irrespective of their religion or class.
