In an exclusive interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Monday, she narrated what led to the shooting of his husband and father of one-month-old baby.
She said her husband, after buying a new vehicle and celebrating with his friends, came to wake her up from sleep in the late hours of Friday, claiming someone was after his life.
She said her husband requested that they immediately move to a hotel where they would be safe and out of the reach of whoever was trying to kill him.
“We got to the hotel but he later requested that we vacate the hotel and go stay with his friends because the person wanting to kill him was still following him,” she said.
Speaking further, she noted that her husband, herself and one-month-old baby found their way to the residence of some of his friends where he requested that his friends help him kill ‘the person’ after his life.
