Witnesses said he didn’t look distressed
Earlier that day, Pastor Eli had been seen entering a modest apartment building in a busy part of the city. Witnesses said he didn’t look distressed. In fact, he seemed calm—focused, even. Some assumed he was making a visit, perhaps offering guidance or prayer to someone in need. It was something he had done countless times before.
A photograph began circulating online: the elderly man, smiling, his arm wrapped around a much younger woman. The contrast between them—age, demeanor, circumstance—sparked immediate reactions. Some people rushed to judgment, while others urged caution. No one knew the full story yet, but that didn’t stop the whispers.
