Reports indicate that Taiwo, a member of the gospel group Adegbodu Twins, passed away in late February. At the time, Kehinde confirmed the heartbreaking news but did not disclose the circumstances surrounding his brother’s death.

About a week later, Kehinde shared more details with visitors who came to their family home in Ibadan to offer condolences.

He revealed that Taiwo had not been suffering from any illness prior to the incident. On the night before his death, both brothers followed their usual routine. After their evening prayers around 9 p.m., they went to separate rooms to rest.

Later that night, Taiwo reportedly went to Kehinde’s room complaining of chest pain. The incident occurred around 10:55 p.m., prompting Kehinde to rush him to the hospital for urgent care.

Tragically, Taiwo’s condition deteriorated rapidly, and he passed away just minutes after arriving at the hospital.

Kehinde recounted: “He came to knock at my door at 10:55 p.m., saying he was having chest pains. I drove him to the hospital immediately, but he died a few minutes later. He was never sick.

“We went to our separate rooms after our usual nightly prayers at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 28.”
