were accused of what I knew you can never do. Those you trusted so dearly
turned their backs at you and tried to make the false allegations look real.
What was their reasons? I can’t tell. Yesterday God vindicated you expressly by
the arrest of the killer of your associate pastor, pastor Esther Neji.
Her
phone was recovered from her killer and he even took the police to where he hid
the gun used in killing our sister. He has admitted to the crime.God is still
God!”
