Rev. Joseph Agboli, Victorious Army Ministries founder is dead

The founder of Victorious Army Ministries (VAM), Reverend Joseph Agboli has died on Wednesday while undergoing treatment in a London hospital.

Joseph Agboli was reportedly diagnosed with a heart-related ailment.

Agboli, in his 50s, started VAM in 1995. The church has branches in Southern States, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States.

A top source in the church revealed that Agboli was not able to preach on the pulpit on Sunday in the church as he was said to be sick.

“Only for me to hear this morning that pastor has died. I was going to work when I heard the sad news. I could not take it, I had to go back home,” he said.

The church has since confirmed the death of Agboli on the pastor’s Facebook page, with his obituary displayed.

“Glory to God, It’s with a heavy heart, but unreserved submission to the will of God that the Victorious Army Ministries International announces the departure unto Glory of God’s servant, the Apostle, Joseph Dominic Agboli, who slept in the Lord on Wednesday, August 25th, 2021.”

The worship centre and international headquarters on Acme Road in Ogba, Lagos was developed in 1998.

The deceased was married to Pastor Blessing, an author and speaker.

The wife leads the Victorious Virtuous Women of VAM, where she coordinates and teaches single and married people.
