It was also confirmed by the court that the witness is not a nursing mother, as it was publicised and that her child was twelve years old

Counsel to the defendant, Adegbite Adeniyi said it was obvious someone is trying to make up something in the case.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, James Idachaba who is prosecuting the case on behalf of the commissioner of police said every witness is obliged to state their evidence without being forced or coerced.

Idachaba said he will call two more witnesses in the matter to prove the case of assault against the lawmaker.

The court later adjourned till October 17, 2019, for the continuation of trial.
