Balenga had arranged for Noela to be killed while she was at home in Congo. According to reports, on the fateful day he had called her and advised her to go for a walk outside. As she stepped out of her home, she was accosted by a man who forced her to get into a car before driving her to a secret location. 

But there was a twist: the hired hitmen said that they would not kill Noela as it was against their rules - they did not believe in killing women or children. They let Noela go and she flew home to meet her husband on the day of the memorial he had planned for her.
