She said, "I never wanted marriage. Goni was my second husband; I separated from my first husband because I hate marriage.
"Every time I wake up to the fact that I'm married, it pisses me off. At one point, I had to run to my parents to demand an end to the marriage, but they always fired me asking me to be patient.
"At some point, two months after giving birth to my child, I ran away and slept in an unfinished building for about two weeks. Then I returned to my husband.
“Not that he doesn't treat me well; we don't argue either. There are two of us in the house, I'm his second wife and I've been married to him since 2021. But I hate it when a man approaches me.
"I don't really know what's wrong with me. Even now that I'm talking to you, I don't really feel like I was the one who killed him."< /p>
