When further cross-examined she admitted that not all that happened in the sex toy shop was contained in the video given to the police as some things have been removed.
It was also confirmed by the court that the witness is not a nursing mother has been publicized and her child was twelve years old
Counsel to defendant Adegbite Adeniyi said it was obvious someone is trying to make up something in the case.
