The strange incident has left many confused as to whether Prophet Duromola met his death in the ghastly auto crash that occurred between 6.00pm and 8.00 p.m. along Akure-Ilesa expressway, or he disappeared. When the wife, Prophetess Eseoghene Blessing Duromola, was contacted, she said Prophet Samuel went to a mountain at Ilesa, with a promise to return to Akure to pick her and the children to Warri for the end of the year vigil but that did not happen as he has not been seen since after the accident. But another source claimed that the Prophet might also have been a victim of kidnap.
The source in Ikeji Arakeji area where the crash occurred disclosed that after the crash and the vehicle veered into the bush, they tried to give a helping hand but did not meet anybody inside the vehicle with the number plate already removed.
Osun State police spokesperson, Folasade Odoro, said there was no official report to that effect while family members from Owo, Ondo State claimed that they had gone to various hospitals in Owena, Ikeji-Arakeji, Ipetu-Ijesa, Ilesa as his whereabouts was still unknown at press time.
According to the family members on search party, the vehicle was found but the prophet was not found, adding that no blood stain or anything curious was noticed at the scene of the accident.
Elder Boro, a member of the Board of Trustees of the church in a telephone interview with Vanguard, said his phone rang throughout the night without response.
This was corroborated by Pastor Paul Opoweh, the Prophet's personal assistant, who said efforts to reach him on phone proved abortive.
