Popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi has paid tribute to veteran gospel musician, Evangelist Toun Soetan, who passed away at 73.
Alabi described Soetan on Instagram, as “a true spiritual mother and a matriarch in gospel music”.
“Her life was a reflection of Christ, and her impact in the gospel music ministry will never be forgotten. She lived for Christ and preached Him through her life and music.
“Though we will miss her, we are comforted knowing she has gone to be with the Lord. Rest well, Mama. Your legacy lives on,” she wrote.
Gospel comedian, Woli Agba confirmed Soetan’s death on Friday in a social media post.
Soetan, known for hits like “Train Up Your Child” and “Darling Jesus”, dedicated over four decades to gospel music.
Born in Lagos and raised as a Muslim, she converted to Christianity in 1974 and later became a prominent gospel singer.
She’s survived by her husband, family, and a community of gospel ministers.
