He said:

“I asked her whether she can work on a farm as a secretary, she said she can and that she’s ready to do the job. So, when she came, I revealed to her that this farm doesn’t exist and that it was just a hoax.
“I told her that before she leaves that I’ll like to have sex with her, and she agreed. But she gave a condition that I should use a condom, which I did. When I removed the condom, she became furious, so she took the nearby stabiliser to hit me on my head. Then she bit my left ring finger.
In a bid to stop her, I used the stabiliser to hit her and she fell and started bleeding, thereafter she died.”

He told journalists that he lured her by using reverse psychology on her. According to the suspect, he wanted to take revenge on Umoren for all harm prostituted have caused him.
