Kenrich Nomayo told the court that the accused committed the offence on Dec. 1, 2017, at Fagba Bus Stop, Iju Road, Ikeja. Nomayo said that the accused saw her friend, Mariam Asabi, hawking milk and Milo, and decided to pick a sachet of milk without paying. He said that when the complainant, Asabi, told Cyril to return the sachet of milk he took, the accused refused and threatened to open it. “When Cyril noticed her left eye was bleeding, he fled the scene but was apprehended by some pedestrians.
