Umar said that she borrowed Rani the sum of N86,600 to start up a poultry business in 2014, adding that the defendant agreed to pay her N5000 monthly until the amount was exhausted.

“He had promised to pay me back after he sells the birds but he only gave me N25,000 and failed to pay the balance,” she said.

Rani, who did not deny owing his ex-lover, said he separated from Umar after he got married to another woman.
