According to the suspect, he sneaked into the compound 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. He then destroyed the kitchen protector in order to gain access into the main building and hid himself there. The suspect reached for a cutlass he found in the kitchen and waited till it was raining then went into one of the rooms and butchered the woman to death. After committing the crime, he stole some of her jewellery and attempted to escape.
However, luck ran out of him, as neighbours raised alarm upon seeing blood stains all over his body as he was leaving the building.

During interrogation, Danjuma confessed to the crime, claiming that the woman accused him of stealing her money, about $10 000. “Me and she are having issues and this woman is prosecuting me in court and our case is coming up next tomorrow. They accuse me of stealing $10, 000. But I did not steal the money,” he said.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident and the arrest of Danjuma, said the matter was still being investigated. “Yes, the command is aware of the incident.

The suspect has been arrested and the matter has been transferred to the State Criminal and Investigation Department,” she stated.
