He said the complainant and his girlfriend returned to their separate shops but later the accused person went to Sonaya’s shop and told her to stop dating the complainant because he was a womanizer.
The prosecution said Sonaya then informed the complainant about the accused’s warning for her to stop seeing him.

The Prosecution said the accused whose shop is a few meters away from that of the complainant’s elder brother saw the complainant and went to the there, where she intentionally and unlawfully pushed the complainant who fell on his left hand.
He said the complainant had a fracture as a result of the fall and made a formal report to the police where he was issued with a medical report form to attend hospital.
Chief Inspector Haligah said whilst investigations was ongoing, the complainant reported back to the police on December 31, 2019, that at about 2000 hours he returned from Tudu and saw that his shop at the Arts Centre was locked. He was assisted by one Safianu Osman to open it.
He said when the complainant was about to enter the shop, the accused, who was passing by the complainant’s shop without any provocation, threatened him by saying “I will kill you and go to jail”.
The prosecution said she again intentionally and unlawfully picked a stone and hit the complainant’s head with it, injuring him in the process.
He said the accused person was subsequently arrested and arraigned.
Meanwhile, family elders of both the accused and the complainant pleaded with the court to allow them settle the matter out of court.
