Dr. Gospel Agochukwu, the leader of Shekinah Arena Gospel Ministries, has confirmed his survival following a major car crash. Reports surfaced on April 12, 2026, indicating that the Port Harcourt pastor had been involved in a dangerous traffic incident. While some rumors falsely claimed that he had died in the wreck, Bishop Irabor of the Answer Assembly Christian Ministries in Warri denied those reports.
After spending several months recovering in a private medical facility, the evangelist made his return to the pulpit this past Sunday. He expressed deep gratitude toward his congregation for their continued dedication and for keeping the church running while he was incapacitated. Addressing his followers, he noted that their support extended beyond religious attendance, emphasizing their personal loyalty. He also announced that he plans to observe a full month of thanksgiving, stating that he believes his survival is a sign that his divine purpose remains unfinished.
