    “I partially lost my sight and had sleepless nights. He repeatedly boasted that since he is a well-known musician, he is untouchable.”

    Lilfrosh’s prosecution was facilitated by the International Association of Women Lawyers, Lagos State branch.

    Lilfrosh was charged on one count of assault and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

    The singer had no counsel to represent him in court.
