He said that the convict, of no fixed address went to a brothel on October 21 at about 8.00 p.m. in Ekotedo, Ibadan, to patronise Meseheno.

He added that "after having sex with Meseheno, trouble ensued because Jimoh refused to pay for the service rendered and, in the process, the convict bit the complainant on the right breast and on the face."

According to the prosecutor, the offence is against the provisions of Section 355 of the Criminal Code, Cap 38, Vol. II, Laws of Oyo State 2000.
