She admitted strangling the Super TV CEO before stabbing him. She also revealed that she is being haunted by the deceased as she cannot sleep since the dastard act was committed.
“I have never had peace since the day I was arrested. Never in my wildest imagination did I envisage I would kill a human being. I see his face in my dream every night. At times I would be scared to sleep.”
“I have been begging God for forgiveness. This is not what I wanted for myself. I don’t know what fate holds for me.”, she said.
