In her words “We used to massage her body, so on December 1, at about 11pm that day after massaging her body, I prepared the bed for her to sleep.”

“After that I decided to steal her money from the drawer but she saw me and shouted, so I hit her on the head with a stool and she died. When I counted the money, it was N100,000 and jewelry and I ran to Calabar where I was arrested.

“One Gloria who used to work with the woman asked me to do that. Madam used to send her to deposit money in the bank and also withdraw for her. She told me to kill the woman so that she will give me part of her money to take care of my baby who is sick.”

Gloria, who initially refused to talk to journalists, said the police had threatened to kill her if she mentioned her accomplice.

“The man said they will kill me if I mention anybody that I am telling lies. The man is a police officer and he is here.”

Patient Okoro who is one of her sisters and was also arrested, said she didn’t know anything about the killing and that her junior sister only informed her on phone that she had committed murder.

Patience said she assisted the police in arresting her in Cross River, adding that all those they arrested while searching for her had been released but the police refused to release her.

“My sister is not talking because the police has threatened to kill her if she mentioned her accomplices to journalists,” she said.
