Sergeant Ihiehie said Omale allegedly assaulted Precious after sleeping with her.

He said an argument ensued when Omale claimed he did not have cash on him to pay the sex worker.

"An argument ensued when Omale claimed he did not have cash on him to pay her. He suggested using his ATM card to withdraw for her and they got in his car, but Omale drove with the sex worker round Ikeja and Ogudu axis without stopping at any bank to use his ATM card," Sergeant Ihiehie explained.

Continuing, he said, "The prosecution said Omale also deceived the complainant by driving her to his friend’s house under the pretext of collecting money from him to pay her. But the friend drove them out of his house.

“When it became clear to the accused that there was no place where he could get money, he used an object to hit Precious Mustapha on the head and started beating her.’’
