The burial of slain Abuja preacher Eunice
Olawale, previously scheduled
for tomorrow, July 14, was suspended
indefinitely on Wednesday to enable the police
conclude its investigations.
An Area Pastor of Mrs. Olawale’s Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Biola
Egebeyemi, disclosed this to newsmen in the
city.
He said the decision was taken by the family of
the deceased with a view to allowing a thorough
investigation on the immediate and remote
cause(s) of her death by the police, who
claimed to have arrested six suspects in
connection with the murder.
Pastor Egbeyemi also announced that the
postponement would also enable the family to
carry out a post-mortem examination on the
body of the deceased.
He stressed that any plan to sweep the murder
under the carpet would not be allowed, and that
justice must be seen to be done.
A new date for the burial of Mrs. Olawale, who
was killed in the early hours of Saturday as she
went out to preach the Gospel, as was her
habit, is to be determined.
Prior to the announcement, residents of the
Pipeline, Gbazango West Extension in Kubwa,
the location of the crime, had expressed serious
concern over what they described as the
lukewarm manner in which the Federal Capital.
Territory Command of the Nigeria Police was
handling the investigation of the brutal murder.
Their anger stemmed from various reports and
complaints previously given to the police when
residents suspected the movement of
miscreants who are living inside the shanties
constructed in front of an RCCG building.

Buhari is a biased president, evidences abound against Fasola, Amaechi, others – Lagos PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has rubbished claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that there is no evidence of corruption against his appointees. Lagos PDP, in a statement on Sunday by its publicity secretary, Taofiq Gani, accused Buhari of shielding his “corrupt” ministers because of their financial contributions to his election. Calling names of those who have serious allegations, the statement noted that, “These are in the public glare and we are surprised that the president exhibits volte-face on these matters. “For instance, Fashola has many corruption petitions against him during and after his tenure as governor of Lagos State. “Groups such as True Face of Lagos, CACOL and individuals have their petitions unattended to by the authorities,” he said. “The reported outcome of enquiry, which indicted Rotimi Amaechi, of unaccounted sum of N3 trillion, when he was governor of Rivers State, is lying unattended to by the authorities and Chris Ngi...
