Night of Fear Turns Fatal

Ajok claimed tensions had been building for months before the killing. She stated that she had not been paid since November 2025. She also highlighted that she endured repeated mistreatment in the household. She mentioned that she was often denied food and physically assaulted.

On the night of the murder, Ajok alleged that it was only the two of them in the house. She claimed her employer accused her of poisoning her and refused to give her food. Ajok said she believed she had been poisoned, and began feeling unwell. In a state of panic in the early hours, she allegedly went to the kitchen, picked up a blunt object and attacked the actress multiple times.

After the assault, Ajok claimed she tried to end her own life but failed by overdosing on pills. The suicide attempt failed and she then fled the scene. She encountered a woman and a young boy, and reportedly told them she had been chased away by her employer. The woman later contacted police, leading to Ajok’s arrest.
