The Magistrate, Salisu Hussaini, requested that both parties should bring their witnesses in the next adjourned sitting.

Speaking after the court session, the woman said, “I doubt he didn’t charm me. Whatever he asked me I did it instantly. I cooked different types of food for him, including chicken, meat, and even two rams. I spent over N900,000 on him. But from there, he started showing me as if he didn’t care. Later he stopped coming to me.”
