On that Monday, he was said to have also taken her to a herbalist on Jebba Street, Ebute Meta, Lagos, around 8 am and the herbalist told him that it was the girl that took the pistol, but she denied the allegation. He thereafter took her to the SCIID, Yaba, where she has been detained till now,” the source added. Daily Independent.
