Salome's promise to her mum
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Salome's mother shared how her deceased daughter struggled with schooling and hawked to put food on their table.
The woman was heartbroken by the horrific manner in which Salome's life was taken.
"She struggled with school, she struggled for me, there was nothing she wouldn’t do for me. She would carry things on her head to sell so we could have something to eat."
"Look at the way she ended up dying. I can’t take it anymore. I said I wanted to die with her, but people didn’t let me. I can’t even talk anymore because it’s just too much for me."
She elaborated on her closeness with Salome since the passing of her husband.
"Whenever I was in the village, it was Salome who brought a power bank for me so she could always talk to me. Since my husband died, she has been like my husband, and now my other husband is gone too."
Ojomachnewu revealed that Salome had promised to stand for her following the death of her husband.

Ernest Sama said:
"I'm not related to them ,i'm not even Nigerian but the phrase " she was my husband since my husband died" has provoked tears running down my spine as a Cameroonian."
Theophilus Chinecherem Okoro said:
"The only justice you need na to give him life imprisonment since he has no regrets of killing his own girlfriend 😭 or to give him painful death nothing more than this you can get from him."
Gloria Ayegba said:
"This is such a sad sad story it painful to know a child died of sickness , but to live with the fact that she was behe.aded is hell. May the Almighty God console you."
Di Law Lawrence said:
"Any way is a way," "I must succeed by force and by all means," and "Just make money anyhow."
"These are some of the dangerous ideas driving young people into evil, dubious, and criminal pursuits of wealth. How can a reasonable young man decide to cut off a girl’s head or body parts—someone’s daughter or sister—for rituals or Yahoo Plus, just to show off riches and wealth? This happens every day in Nigeria.
"We need to be vigilant, especially the ladies. Things are no longer as they should be. The more you see, the less you understand. May God grant us the wisdom to be cautious and the courage to flee when necessary to protect our lives."
