In an interview with the Punch, the widow said the gruesome murder of Salome still feels like a bad dream, adding that it has been extremely difficult for her.

"I felt like my world had ended. It’s a painful experience, and it still feels like a bad dream. People tried to console me, saying I have other children, but no one should go through something like this. It has been extremely difficult. What I want is justice for her. I am currently very ill."

Ojomachenwu demanded justice for her slain daughter, who was a corps member serving in Abuja.

On the gospel singer's claim that Salome was his girlfriend, Ojomachenwu described it as a lie. According to the bereaved woman, the suspect did not even know her name.

She added that her deceased daughter was seeing someone else, and they had a plan for her wedding to the pharmacist she was dating before her murder. In her words:

"That’s a lie. Salome was not his girlfriend. He didn’t even know her name. You can see in the video that the killer has a beard. My children don’t like men who keep beards, and Salome had no relationship with him.
"She already had someone she was dating; a pharmacist. I told her we would do the necessary wedding introduction after her service year."
