Mrs Eunice Elisha
Prophet Ayodele Olusesan who happens to be the elder brother to
Mrs. Eunice Olawale, the RCCG preacher who was murdered in Kubwa, Abuja
on Saturday, has spoken out about the woman.
He says that Eunice planned to buy a car and complete the construction of a building for their father before her tragic murder.
According to The Punch, Eunice was also said to have promised to
refund the hospital bills of her ailing father, Elder Ayodele Akun, 72,
who had yet to be informed of the demise of his daughter.
Olusesan revealed on Monday that the family was waiting for the old
man’s health to improve before breaking the sad news to him, adding
that his mother took ill and had to be hospitalised at the General
Hospital, Ilawe-Ekiti, when she heard that her daughter had passed on.
Olusesan, a cleric with the Christ Apostolic Church, Power of
Resurrection, Ikorodu, Lagos, described Eunice as the breadwinner of the
family, who she said had plans for him and other family members.
The cleric, who spoke at the residence of the deceased in Kubwa,
stated that he chatted with her over the telephone on Friday night,
adding that he was shocked to hear that Eunice had died on Saturday
morning.
He said, “There is no day I don’t talk with her on the phone; I
still spoke with her around 7pm on Friday and she promised to refund
any amount spent on our father who is ill and is in hospital.
“Eunice had also promised to complete the house my father was
building and she also said she would buy him a car; she was a very
industrious woman; she studied Quantity Surveying, and she was into
property business, so she was doing well financially.”
Asked if he had a premonition of his sibling’s death, Olusesan
explained that he had a dream in which a woman’s head was severed, but
according to him, he never thought such a tragedy would befall his
family.
He said, “Last month, I had a terrible dream in which I saw
some assailants cutting off the head of a woman. In the dream, I picked
up the head and chased after the men and I woke up. The dream was so
vivid. I prayed and God directed me to fast for five days which I did.
“Though I was very close to my sister, I didn’t share the dream
with her, because I never thought it had to do with her, but I shared
it with my church members and we prayed against such a tragedy. We still
prayed about it during our church vigil last Friday.”
Olusesan expressed regrets over the manner in which his sister was
killed, adding that she was stabbed in the neck, chest and legs.
He said, “The painful aspect of the incident is that she was
killed in the open, in a city like Abuja that has policemen on patrol
everywhere. I heard that some policemen were saying maybe she was killed
over a business dispute, but I want to say that my sister did not
engage in any business deals with anyone because she shared everything
about her business with me, she had no secrets.”
A family friend to the deceased, Pastor Alabi Lawrence, said that
the family was waiting for the autopsy to be conducted on Eunice remains
before the family would arrange for the funeral which he said might
hold next week.
He described as sad and unfortunate the failure of the people
around the crime scene to come to the aid of the deceased when she was
under attack.
“It is pathetic that the people around the crime scene did not
respond to her cry for help when she was being attacked; it is a pity,
Nigerians are no longer their brother’s keeper,” Lawrence, a lawyer said.
