During the proceedings, prosecution counsel Abdullahi Tanko explained that the complainant, Okoro Chinaza, reported the incident to the Gwagwalada Police Station on October 29.
Tanko stated that Sunday had visited Chinaza’s barbershop for a haircut but failed to pay the N27,000 fee for the service, which violated Sections 312 and 322 of the Penal Code.
