It was reported that the late Ajanaku was involved in a messy media war with Tope Alabi shortly before his death last year, where he lashed out the singer for no longer attending his church along with her husband.
It would be recalled that late Prophet Ajanaku’s widow, Joy Ajanaku, and some elders of the church had refused to bury him because they were convinced he will rise again. The late Prophet Ajanaku was born and brought up as a Muslim but converted to Christianity on his arrival in Lagos State. He is survived by a wife, an aged mother and two children, a boy and a girl.
