“My wife goes out to preach between 5am to 6am. On Saturday she went out the same time, around 6:30am, two of my children used to go out to play football at a field nearby, my children came back and told me that they heard some footballers saying that a woman preaching this morning was killed and her megaphone was still there, the cut her head and her legs.

“I told my children it can’t be there mother, but they insisted we should go there and check, I wore my cloth and went there, when we got there, we didn’t see anybody, they have even covered her blood with sand”.

He said a policeman confirmed the incident adding that the remains of the woman was taken to Phase 4 Police Station, Kubwa.

“I immediately rushed to my house, drove to the police station with two of my children, as we were entering the police gate, a pickup Van was coming out, and I saw my wife at the back of the pickup Van, at this point, I and my children bursted into tears”.

Meanwhile, the ‎Federal Capital Territory FCT, Commissioner of Police, CP Alkali Baba Usman has ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID)to lead a discreet investigation into the murder of the deceased.
