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. She was a deaconess at the Divine Touch Parish of the RCCG, along Old NEPA Road, Phase 4 in the Federal Capital Territory satellite town of Kubwa.
She was found dead in a pool of her own blood with a copy of the bible, a megaphone and a mobile phone. Upon discovering her body, local residents alerted policemen who came to evacuate her remains to the police station where her husband went to identify the corpse.
Her husband, Olawale Elisha, who is also a pastor at the RCCG, said his wife had gone out to preach in the neighbourhood around 5 am only for him to hear the report of her murder. He added that he was still in bed when she left for the session, only to be woken up and told she had been attacked by hoodlums.
He said: “My wife always went out early in the morning for Morning Cry evangelism. There was a particular day she went out and she told me that there was a mosque at the back where they commented about what she said, so I just cautioned her.
“I see her as a martyr and she died for Christ and whether the people are caught or not, they should forgive them. My prayer is that if they can accept Christ, that will be a gain to Christ."
According to Mr Elisha, his wife was a reckless giver to God’s work, who rarely missed any programme in the church. He added that his wife had no quarrel with anyone that could have warranted her murder.
