Popular Catholic Priest and Director of Healing Ministry known as Jesus Is Love, Very Reverend Monsignor Sylvester E. U. Osigwe, was laid to rest on Thursday in Ifo, Ogun State amidst tears.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that thousands of the Adoration members were in attendance to pay their last respect to their spiritual leader, who was buried inside the adoration ministry.
Most of the members were unable to hold back their tears and cried openly during the Mass while others thanked God for the grace Osigwe received as he died peacefully at a ripe age.
Msgr. Osigwe died early morning on Saturday 22nd June, 2019, at about 80 years after a protracted illness reportedly associated with age.

Monsignor Osigwe was the Parish Priest; St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Alaja-Ifo, Ogun State and was in charge of the Healing Ministry that had liberated many families across the states and outside Nigeria for several years.
The late Osigwe was the Parish Priest of St. Augustine, Ikorodu Parish, where he started the ministry before moving to Ifo in Ogun State, where he continued the adoration ministry before he died. He hailed from Imo State but he was ordained a priest in Lagos before he traveled to Vatican City for further studies.
It was gathered that the cleric had been sick probably due to old age before he eventually died after an undisclosed protracted illness.
