Kehinde Adegbodu has shared an emotional account of the final moments he spent with his twin brother, Taiwo Adegbodu, before his sudden death.
In a video statement, Kehinde explained that Taiwo appeared healthy and cheerful earlier that evening, with nothing suggesting an impending medical emergency.
According to him, the brothers had observed their usual nightly prayer routine around 9 p.m., after which everyone retired to their rooms.
“We used to have our night prayer at 9 p.m. every day. We prayed together at 9 p.m. on Saturday and everyone went to bed,” Kehinde said.
Later that night, around 10 p.m., Kehinde visited Taiwo’s room to remind him about a church service scheduled for 10 a.m. the following day. At the time, Taiwo was relaxing and playing games on his phone.
“He told me he would sleep early,” Kehinde recalled.
However, events took a sudden turn shortly before 11 p.m. when Taiwo knocked on his brother’s door complaining of severe chest pain.
Kehinde said the complaint came at approximately 10:55 p.m., prompting him to quickly drive his brother to a nearby hospital located just a few minutes away.
“He came to knock on my door at 10:55 p.m. that he was having chest pains, and I drove him to the hospital immediately,” he said.
Sadly, Taiwo did not survive the medical emergency.
The Adegbodu Twins were widely respected in Nigeria’s gospel music community, particularly within the Yoruba music scene. Their rise to prominence began with the release of their debut album Faratimi (Lean on Me), which helped establish them as notable voices in gospel music.
