The lawyer was taken to court on Wednesday, March 13. He was accused of breaking the law by not paying her (the woman named Queeneth John), hurting her, and causing trouble.
As reported by The Nigerian Tribune, the woman said Emmanuel approached her while she was selling things in Wuse. He took her to a hotel, promising to pay her for sex. But when it was over, he didn’t give her the promised money and instead hurt her.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel reportedly added to the drama as he began recording videos of the police station and its officers upon arrival at the Asokoro police station, further exacerbating the situation by inciting disturbance in a public office.
Judge Aliyu Kagarko, who handled the case, granted Emmanuel bail in the sum of N1 million, with a surety of a similar amount.
The case was adjourned until April 18 for further hearing.
