An Islamic Cleric who ordered some young men to chase away RCCG Deaconess Eunice Olawale has been arrested.
According to a police source today in Abuja, the self-professed peace-loving Imam reportedly ordered some boys to scare the preacher away from the front of the mosque in Kubwa early Saturday morning but the young men took the law into their own hands and stoned Mrs Olawale to death.
The Islamic cleric (name withheld by request) told Police he never ordered his boys to kill the preacher. He however admitted that he was the one who sent them to chase her away. The police spokesman for Abuja Police command, Anjuguri Manzah said an investigation has started on the barbaric way in which the RCCG’s Pastor’s wife was murdered. He promised to make the outcome of the investigation public soon.
As at the time of filing in this report, 6 suspects are already in police detention in connection with Deaconess Eunice Olawale’s murder and are helping with investigations.
Recall that mother of seven, Mrs. Eunice Mojisola Olawale, was gruesomely murdered by suspected Islamic fanatics on Saturday morning while preaching around the Gbazango-West area of Kubwa, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory. Pictured above is the moment after she was killed, left in the pool of her own blood, and her megaphone and cell phone placed beside her corpse.
