The Kano State Commander of the NDLEA, Hamza Umar, said the accused, in her confessional statement, said she wanted to punish Pastor Ekenne for offending her.

This is what she purportedly said:

“I am not in good terms with Pastor Richard. We even have a pending case at the Magistrate Court here in Kano.
