He added that the defendant impersonated to be Oba Elegushi on social media, professed love to the complainant and told her to come to Nigeria from London where she stays.
“The defendant told her that she would undergo a ritual cleansing before she can come to the palace and be a queen and linked her up with some at large.”

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
