Reverend Major passes away, breaking hearts

On Saturday, June 28, 2025, Reverend Major passed away.

His death was confirmed on the Oyerepa Daakye Hemaa reality show and later by his relatives.

The cause of his sudden demise was not stated in the announcement of his passing. However, rumour had it that he suffered food poisoning.

Others also claimed a popular pastor, whom he previously disrespected, had a hand in the reverend's death, but his family and friends have contested these claims.

"No pastor can kill Reverend Major. It's only God who has the power to give life and take it back. Besides, death is part of life, so it is not true that any pastor called his soul spiritually and punished him with death," Bishop Poku clarified.
