He said, “The painful aspect of the incident is that she was killed in the open, in a city like Abuja that has policemen on patrol everywhere”.
Adeboye visited the husband of the deceased, Pastor Olawale Elisha and the family around 6 a.m.to condole with them.
He reaffirmed that contrary to reports from some sections of the media that the deceased’s head and leg were chopped-off, he said:”the Command wants to state that apart from marks of injury inflicted on some parts of her body, all parts of the deceased body are intact. My prayer is that if they can accept Christ, that will be a gain to Christ”, the bereaved husband said. We are praying that all the perpetrators of this crime will be found. We are not asking for justice, we are only praying that you will save their souls.
“We have made some arrests and they are helping in our investigation”, Anjuguri said.
“As for these little children, give them wisdom; let them succeed and excel”.
“Though I was very close to my sister, I didn’t share the dream with her, because I never thought it had to do with her, but I shared it with my church members and we prayed against such a tragedy”. As a result of what had happened, instead of decrease, increase your church.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has called for a “thorough” investigation into the killing of Olawale by unknown persons.
The resolution of the House was sequel to a motion of urgent national importance sponsored by Babatunde Kolawole, APC Ondo.
Vanguard gathered that miscreants had been on rampage in Kubwa, especially at Omega Paint Road and entire Arab Road and the miscreants erect shanties in most of the streets and also live in uncompleted buildings as they can not afford the high cost of rent in the area.
Members passed the motion in a unanimous voice vote and observed a minute’s silence in honour of the late evangelist.
The Chairman of Kubwa Muslim Community (KMC), Suleiman Abdullahi has condemned the murder in its entirety and described it as barbaric, saying it is absurd for a human being to take the life his fellow human being.
Elisha, who is also a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of Nigeria, explained that his wife had told him before that she had previously encountered some people from a nearby mosque who took issue with her preaching.
