“That very night, my husbandnd and I were outside around 11pm but as he was talking to someone, I left him and went inside. He later came to sleep beside me. It was the following day that my younger sister told me he raped her at midnight.
“When I confronted him, he denied. I informed my mum and we became furious and asked him to leave the house. He packed his properties and left the following day only to return during that week to start begging me.
“When my mum returned, she went straight to the church where she stayed till Sunday. On Sunday evening, he called me and said my mum called and rained curses on him.
“Around 3am, someone from my mum’s church called me to come to the church because she was not feeling fine. As I was about to rush out, I heard footsteps and saw an iron rod on the floor.
“I was called from the church again that I should start going to the Akodu General Hospital and that was how I got to know that he (Jogbo) had killed my mother and was about to come and kill me,” she said.
