Over the weekend, Pastor Elisha was killed in cold blood while preaching around the Gbazango-West area of Kubwa near Abuja. In an inexplicable and bizarre attack, Pastor Elisha, 42, whose birthday was just a couple of weeks away, was stabbed in the stomach and she also had a cut in her neck.
However, the authorities have swing into action following the public outcry and the deputy commissioner of police, Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, is leading the team probing the murder. Alkali Usman, Federal Capital Territory commissioner of police, said he ordered the investigation.
Mr Usman assured residents of the police’s commitment and determination to fish out perpetrators of the crime and bring them to justice. He promised to make the outcome of the investigation public.
Police spokesman Anjuguri Manzah, said: “The commissioner of Police FCT has ordered the deputy commissioner of police, Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, to lead discreet investigation into the murder of Mrs Eunice Olawale Elisha, who was murdered by unknown persons in the early hours of Saturday at Gbazango Pipeline area of Kubwa. Contrary to reports from some sections of the media that the deceased’s head and legs were chopped off, the command wants to state that apart from marks of injury inflicted on some parts of her body, all parts of the deceased body were intact and the police have taken custody of her remains for preservation and examination.”
Yesterday, the vice president’s wife, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, visited Pastor Elisha's family in Abuja and condoled with them. She was received around 1.30 pm by the widower, Pastor Olawale Elisha, his children and church members.
