“It was Prime Boy who came complaining that why would Mohbad’s brother act rude to him like that saying that Mohbad should do something but Mohbad said that he can’t discipline his brother in public. By that time, Mohbad was really angry sake of saying them.” have delayed it for over two hours and everything that’s happening.”

She stated that while the argument between Primeboy and Mohbad was ongoing, she was sitting in their middle, and this made Mohbad come down from the car and go to the other side to fight him.

“It’s in the middle of it and my husband came down because he was upset that Prime Boy was calling him ‘Promise’ which he didn’t like being called outside.”

“As he turned to the other side of the car to meet Prime Boy, I quickly called the other people in our second Prado jeep to settle the argument but I didn’t know what happened during the fight go on because I’m not expensive,” Wunmi said in court.
