Samwel Omollo Ayugi, a well-known preacher in the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) church has suddenly passed away, sending the entire SDA community into sadness.
On June 18, Sunday, in the Winyo region of Migori County, Ayugi killed in a horrifying traffic collision.
Along the Rongo-Homa Bay Highway, an accident occurred in which a matatu collided head-on with a private car that was ostensibly transporting the preacher, injuring many other people.
By way of social media, the Ranen Conference of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, where he had previously held the position of executive director, announced his passing.
“The servant of God rested through a tragic road accident. Samwel Omollo Ayugi has been an icon of the Gospel for many years. A friend and a father to many. We mourn with the hope of resurrection morning,” the group shared.
Ayugi received a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Bugema University in Uganda in 2014.
Peter Masara, a Suna West MP, lamented the preacher’s passing and grieved that he had passed away just when the church and the country needed him the most.
“We are devastated by his demise and want to join Ranen Conference and the family affected through prayer. This is to let you know that we are together during these trying moments and want to ask our heavenly Father to comfort the family and give you the courage to withstand the blow brought about by the sudden death of man of God. RIP,” said Masara.
