MURDERED REDEEMED PASTOR

Spouse of killed Redeemed church evangelist: I cautioned my better half two weeks before her death.

•She was provider of the family, he says

There were no signs that it would be her last day on earth.

At the point when Mrs Eunice Elisha, a deaconess with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) set out from her home at around 5.30pm last Saturday, she had no feeling that a few aggressors were going to stop her life and ask her to leave for good from this world. In any case, that was the situation. She was horrifyingly killed while preaching the gospel around Gbazango-West range of Kubwa in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Indeed, even now, days after her death, Pastor Olawale Elisha, her  spouse, and  the whole family, are finding it difficult to believe that the minister is no more.

He said "I am a minister, and a minister relies  upon what God provides for him. Truly, my wife was the provider of this home. That is reality. She sold things to care for  the house. She was the one God used to fend for the family. 

"Before, I was into business, but  around two years ago, my wife and I agreed I quit the business to dedicate myself solely to the work of God. since my business was influencing it. She said I ought to dedicate myself to the work of the ministry. She was the person who paid the children's  school expenses and dealt with other needs in the family, Pastor Elisha said.

The minister was encompassed by relatives and a portion of the offspring of the killed mother of seven when journalists visited the house on Monday.

He added that"his wife  went out during the early  hours of the morning for the 'Morning Cry,'  On that  morning, she went around 5.30am and I was still in bed since we had a vigil overnight. She partook for some time and rested hopingto  go out to preach in the morning. Two of my young men are footballers, so they went to the field to play. Furthermore, when they returned, they let me know that they heard a few footballers saying that they butchered a lady preaching earlyin the morning.
 when I heard this, we trekked down with the short I was putting on and we didn't see anyone, yet we saw blood on the ground. I asked a policeman around and he said it is true,but that they had taken her to Phase 4 Police Station. I went to the station with my kids and when we arrived, I saw the dead body of my better half at the back of the police van and there, she was taken to the motuary. The episode happened somewhere around 5am and 5:30am in light of the fact that she constantly goes out by 5am and returned by 6am.

How could he have been able to he get the overwhelming news? What's more, what was the prompt response of the family? Elisha said miserably: "I tumbled down when I saw the body of my better half secured. I cried. I was excessively drained and couldn't drive back home. Somebody needed to drive us back to the house

He revealed that his significant other was a peace-loving lady, clarifying that she found a sense of contentment with everybody. He additionally told the Newsmen that he cautioned his better half three weeks before her horrifying death. He said an Imam in an adjacent mosque had recognized her better half's preaching, however saying that he was uncomfortable with the entire thing.

Said he: "My wife never contended with anybody. She was always giving out things and the congregation can affirm that. Around three weeks prior, my better half went to the back of my home. That morning, after preaching, she came and let me know that a man in the mosque heard her and approached individuals to listen to what she was saying.

"When she returned and let me know about it, I cautioned her. I did that since I was a Muslim before I changed over and turned into a Christian. I advised her to be watchful. I advised her that in spite of the fact that what the man in the mosque said was real, she should have been cautious.

"For around a week, she didn't go out to preach in view of the notice. That was around three weeks back that I cautioned her. The remarks made by the man in the mosque were not against her. Actually, they were praising her."
Pastor Elisha said there was no earlier cautioning from the attackers before they killed his better half. In any case, he insisted that he had forgiven the attackers. As indicated by him, as a Christian, it was not in his temperament to look for individual reprisal.

"There was no provocation or cautioning before she was killed. My significant other was an offspring of God. She didn't have issues with anyone. We've been married  for a long time and had seven kids. I am not an attorney or a legal officer. What I can say is that I forgive those that murdered my spouse.

"There is no compelling reason to vindicate her demise. When we went to the spot where her dead body was kept, the group said her head and breasts were removed. Till this minute, I have not seen her  dead body. I just heard. I have not confirmed,  he said.

Spouse of the Vice President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, who is likewise a minister with the RCCG, went by the Elisha's  house at around 1:30pm on Sunday, the day after Mrs. Elisha's murder.
