businessman.The suspects are Blessing Victor, Martha Joseph, Sonia Okafor,
Esther Sunday, Grace John, Angela Aja and Princess Ojo, all of Express Hotel,

Oforma of Plot 24, Gwarimpa Estate, Phase 1, Abuja, lodged the matter at the
‘B’ Division Police Station on March 20.He said that the accused persons and
some men, currently at large, beat up Oforma, stabbed him and stole his Nokia

read to them, the suspects all pleaded not guilty.In her defence, the first
accused person, Blessing Victor, told the court that she did not steal anything
from the complainant. She said: “My only sin is that I charged the complainant
N3,000 to have sexual intercourse with me for the whole night.“After we did it,
he refused to pay me and when I complained he said I stole his money.” The
Magistrate, Mrs Lillian Terseer-Tsumba, granted bail to the accused persons in
