Meanwhile, a viral video has surfaced where Danjuma narrated the misunderstanding he had with the woman while being interrogated by policemen at the State Criminal and Investigation Department in Port Harcourt.
From the video seen by our correspondent, Danjuma decided to visit the residence of his former boss in the wee hours of the morning ahead of the next court hearing of the case fixed for Friday, May 12, 2023.
After finding his way into the compound, he destroyed the kitchen protector in order to gain access into the main building and hid himself there to perfect his sinister motive.
The security guard then reached for a machete he found at his hiding place (kitchen), waited till it was raining then went to his former boss who he found in one of the rooms and butchered her.
After committing the crime, he left the woman sprawling on the floor in a pool of blood while he stole some of her jewellery.
However, in his attempt to escape, luck ran out of him, as neighbours raised alarm as they accosted him, seeing blood stains all over his body as he was leaving the building.JAMB Result
