Mrs. Eunice Omaye Odoba, a 55-year-old woman, and wife of a pastor of the Lord’s Chosen Church but is on faith mission to Equatorial Guinea, was said to have been stabbed in the chest in Otukpo, Benue State.
She was a mother of three children and a proprietress of Verda International School, Otukpo, Benue State.
Her absence from church, led to the discovery, as members decided to visit her at home, only to see her corpse.
A source who is her relative explained that:
“When we finished a family meeting around 6.30am yesterday (Sunday), she said she was rushing to church and I was the one who took her on my motorcycle and dropped her at the junction to her house and we parted.
“Only for me to receive a call from someone, who was working around her house around 3pm that I should rush down to my sister’s house.
“On getting there, I saw some of her church members, who I later learnt said that they did not see her in church, which was very unusual, and they decided to check her at home.
“I saw her lying down in a pool of her own blood and discovered that she was stabbed in the topmost part of her breast.”
The brother explained that while the only daughter of the deceased was a student of the School of Nursing, Enugu, one of the male children is a serving youth corps member and the other a banker in Abuja.
Mac added that Eunice’s husband left for a faith mission trip to Equatorial Guinea in February this year.
It was gathered that men of Nigeria Police, Otukpo Division, evacuated her body and deposited it in the morgue.
