Ikeja, Lagos state – A tragic incident occurred at a church crusade in Abaranje, Ikotun, Lagos state, where a woman, identified as Rachel Johnson, lost her life while attempting to mediate a fight between church members. The 47-year-old woman was stabbed to death during the altercation. The incident took place on Saturday, November 11.

This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the community and has once again highlighted the need for peaceful conflict resolution and the prevention of violence within religious settings.

In the midst of this unfortunate event, former lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani has also reacted to another incident in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, where there have been reports of alleged ‘manhood stealing’. Senator Sani expressed his concerns about the frequent lynching of suspected manhood thieves, stating that such acts were unruly.

In another unrelated incident, a woman in Rivers state was arrested for bathing her husband with hot oil. The woman, filled with regret, asked for forgiveness for her actions.

These incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of peaceful conflict resolution and the need to promote harmony and understanding within communities. It is crucial for religious organizations and law enforcement agencies to work together to foster an environment of peace and unity, where disputes can be resolved without resorting to violence.

The tragic death of Rachel Johnson should serve as a wake-up call to address the underlying issues that can lead to such violent acts. It is essential for all stakeholders to come together and take proactive measures to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the future.
