“My girlfriend’s name is Enny, she is a prostitute who always comes to Ikare junction in Owo.
“I shot her after I noticed that she gives other men more attention than me. We have been having issues for a while now.
“That particular day she repeated what I warned her against and I became furious and I shot her. But she did not die. I learnt that she is in hospital.
“I’m not a cultist, and I have never shot anyone in my life. The gun that I used against her belongs to my father who is a hunter. My father does use the gun to hunt and kill animals.”
Chief Adeleye, the Amotekun commander, who spoke to newsmen said the woman later died of the gunshot injury.
He noted that the suspects will be charged in court after the investigations are complete.
