“There was a prophecy that we should pray for Yinka so that fresh tree would not fall instead of the dry one. What that means is that our dad, who is 115 years old, is alive and 56-year-old, the last child of our father is gone,” he said.
Yinka Odumakin died on Saturday after reportedly suffering respiratory problems due to COVID-19.
