During the arraignment on Thursday, June 1, 2023, a police prosecution witness, Inspector Jola Oso, who was led in evidence-in-chief by the state prosecuting counsel, Olayemi Shofolu, stated that the defendant made a statement saying that he had an agreement to pay the late Solomon ₦2,000, but that it was after he had sex with her that the deceased said she was no longer collecting ₦2,000 but ₦8,000.
“The defendant said it was the deceased that first held his clothes before he saw a kitchen knife, and that immediately he saw the knife, he took it and stabbed the deceased,” the witness said.
When asked for his conclusion on the case, he said, “I found out that the deceased was 28 years old and was also a woman and Babatunde would have overpowered her and does not need to use any weapon.

However, the Magistrate, E. Kubeinje, did not take the defendant's plea owing to the nature of the offence.
