Court of justice
According to Koti Aondohemba, the prosecutor who charged her before a Tinubu Magistrate’s Court sitting in Lagos, the accused committed the offence on April 24, at 11:30 pm.
Aondohemba told the court that the victim, Benson Bright, had offered the lady a lift on the night of the incident and since it was late for her to find her way home, he decided to offer her a place to sleep in his residence at 4, Tokunbo Street, Lagos Island.
But Bright was given a jolt when Ofeimu repaid him with evil by stealing the items from him.
