jilting his girlfriend. The prosecutor, Sgt. Samuel Okoro, told the
court that Jessica Ibrahim, a girlfriend to the accused, reported the
matter at the Sani Abacha Road Police Station, Mararaba, on Aug. 4 at
about 11:30 a.m.
Okoro said that sometimes in Jan. 4, the accused who resides at Mararaba, approached Jessica for a relationship to which she accepted. He alleged that the accused deceived and deceitfully induced the complainant, who is not lawfully married to him, to believe that he will marry her.
