Godwin alleged that the defendant, whose address was not provided, conspired with six armed men and attacked the complainant at the gate of High-level Guest House, Makurdi.
He further told the court that the defendant and her accomplices allegedly took Matthew to the old bridge, Makurdi, robbed him of his techno handset valued at N14, 500 and N10, 000 cash; and then shot him with a gun on his left leg.

He said the investigation into the matter is ongoing and urged the court to remand the defendant until the adjourned date.
