What you should know about Pastor Odukoya and his late wife

It would be recalled that in January 2021, the Odukoyas celebrated a 10-year wedding anniversary.

Exactly ten years ago, Odukoya, had got married to Nomthi in Lagos. The marriage came four years after his first wife, Pastor Bimbo Rosemary Odukoya (née Williams), died in the 2005 Sosoliso air crash, which also claimed the lives of hundreds of students of the Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja. 

Before death separated them, Taiwo and Bimbo Odukoya were married for 21 years. The union was blessed with three children – Tolu, Jimi, and Tobi. Ironically though, one person who was reported to have encouraged Odukoya to remarry was his late mother-in-law, Anike Williams, who passed away in 2009. His three children were also said to have pressurised him to marry another wife as well.
