"It was quite obvious that she defrauded me. All she needed to do was to surrender and settle for peace to reign. I don’t understand why she decided to go to court; I heard the comments she made in the police station.
"The money is just one million naira and she behaved as if it was dollars. All I planned was to recover my money in a very simple way.”
