Pastor Adeboye prays for Murderers of Deceased Abuja Preacher, Mrs. Eunice Olawale
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said the church does not want justice for its slain member, Mrs. Eunice Olawale.
Adeboye said the church was only interested in the salvation of the souls of the killers.
Eunice, a mother of seven, was murdered while preaching the gospel in Kubwa, a satellite town in Abuja around 5am on Saturday.
Adeboye, who was on his way to Lagos after a crusade in Abuja, paid a condolence visit to the family at their Gbazango Estate, Kubwa residence around 6am on Tuesday.
While praying for the family of the deceased, he said, “Lord, we just want to say thank you. We pray that you will keep this family in your hand, and that you will be with them. We pray you will comfort and defend them. They too will finish well. We are praying that all the perpetrators of this crime will be found. We are not asking for justice, we are only praying that you will save their souls. It will be glorious if they can come and testify that ‘before we were murderers, but now, we are pastors.’
“As for these little children, give them wisdom; let them succeed and excel. As for the church, you will comfort us. As a result of what had happened, instead of decrease, increase your church. Stand by them and keep away evil from them.”
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has called for a “thorough” investigation into the killing of Olawale by unknown persons.
In a resolution the House passed in Abuja on Tuesday, lawmakers asked the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, to investigate the attack and to ensure that the killers were brought to justice.
The motion on the killing was moved by a lawmaker from Ondo State, Mr. Babatunde Kolawole, under matters of urgent public importance.
Lawmakers also asked the IG to deploy more policemen in Kubwa and environs.
The resolution added, “We urge the FCT administration to demolish all shanties across FCT in which miscreants are said to be hiding and from which they attack innocent citizens.”
The session was presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara.
Members passed the motion in a unanimous voice vote and observed a minute’s silence in honour of the late evangelist.
Also, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has condemned the gruesome murder of Olawale.
The PFN in a statement signed by its National President, Dr. Felix Omobude, on Tuesday described the murder as a wicked and barbaric act perpetrated by intolerant persons.
While sympathising with the family of the deceased pastor and the RCCG, Omobude called on law enforcement agents to ensure that the perpetrators of the dastardly act face the full wrath of the law.
The PFN president, however, urged all Christians to remain calm and continue to have faith in the Nigerian project.
He further called on all Christians to continue to be fervent in their prayers for religious harmony and a better nation.

Land Speculator’s Defiance: A Tale of Alleged Extortion, Intimidation and Police Complicity By Ifeoma Ikem
Land Speculator’s Defiance: A Tale of Alleged Extortion, Intimidation and Police Complicity
By Ifeoma Ikem
A notorious land speculator in Lagos State, Saheed Mosadoluwa, alias “Ibile,” has declared war on the police, alleging widespread extortion and harassment. Mosadoluwa’s bold declaration has sparked a heated debate about police corruption and accountability in Nigeria.
At the center of the controversy is Mosadoluwa’s claim that police officers demanded N150 million as bribe from him, supposedly on behalf of Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, over a land dispute in Ibeju-Lekki.
He also alleges that police officers from Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, falsely accused him of kidnapping, gun running, and murder without inviting him to defend himself.
Mosadoluwa’s grievances were aired on social media platform Tiktok, where he vowed never to pay bribes again and challenged the police to produce a genuine warrant of arrest. “I will not pay you one kobo again since you people don’t have respect for the rule of law,” he stated.
However, police sources dispute Mosadoluwa’s claims, stating that he was declared wanted after failing to respond to invitations to answer allegations in a petition.
The police maintain that Mosadoluwa’s allegations are unfounded and aimed at deflecting attention from his own wrongdoing.
Further investigation reveals a history of violence and intimidation by Mosadoluwa, including a bloody encounter with the Oni-Orisan family, whose matriarch, Chief Mrs. Dupe Oni-Orisan Damazio, was kidnapped and manhandled over a land dispute.
Eyewitnesses and victims describe Mosadoluwa as a notorious land grabber, terrorising landowners and dispossessing them of their land. His alleged connections to top police officers have emboldened him, allowing him to boast that no one can stop him.
The police hierarchy has launched an investigation into Mosadoluwa’s claims of police involvement in the land scandal. As the probe continues, authorities are working to verify his allegations and address the situation.
The incident has sparked renewed calls for reform and accountability within the police force. Nigerians are demanding an end to corruption and extortion, which have become entrenched in the country’s law enforcement system.
As the standoff between Mosadoluwa and the police continues, one thing is clear: the people of Lagos will no longer tolerate impunity and corruption. The time for change has come.
