This makes it 71 days.” Speaking to journalists, Abiara had said he had a premonition of his wife’s death. He said, “She was sick for the past three weeks, but she was talking and taking part in normal daily activities. But the Spirit of God told me that God was about to call her. After a prayer session at the hospital, I left her a day before she died and in the following evening, we prayed and even sang seven Halleluyah. After the last one, she breathed her last.”
