The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command said it has arrested some suspects in connection with the killing of a woman preacher in Kubwa, FCT.
The FCT command’s Spokesman, ASP Anjuguri Manzah confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.
“We have made some arrests and they are helping in our investigation. The commissioner of police has ordered the homicide section of the command to take over the investigation of the case,” he said.
According to PUNCH, the deceased, Eunice Elisha, 41 was killed while preaching in the early hours of the day around the pipeline area of Kubwa, a satellite town of the FCT.
Eunice who was a Deaconess at the Divine Touch Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God was said to have been cut in the neck and stabbed in the stomach.
She was left in the pool of her blood with her bible, megaphone, and cellphone.
Speaking to newsmen at their residence, the deceased’s husband, Olawale Elisha, a Pastor in their church said:
My wife always goes out early in the morning for ‘Morning Cry’ (evangelism). There was a particular day she went out and she told me that there is a mosque at the back where they commented about what she said. So I just cautioned her.
This morning (Saturday), she went around 5AM and I was still in bed because we did vigil which she participated in for a while because of the ;Morning Cry’ she planned to undertake. Two of my boys are footballers, so they went to the field to play. And when they came back, they told me that they heard some footballers saying that some hoodlums had butchered a woman who was preaching early this morning
