Daily Trust reports that the suspects, Helen Gabriel, Joy Johnson and Ene Ahmed, all residents of Jabi Masallachi, Abuja, were arraigned on a two-count charge following a report that they attacked one Joy Opara and three others during a fight over a male patron.

The police prosecutor, Zannah Dalhatu, told the court that case was reported at the Utako Police Station on February 21, 2017, after a fight broke out between the prostitutes.

Dalhatu said on that date, the complainant reported that the defendants formed a common intention and attacked her and her colleagues at Eden Garden, Utako, Abuja, and inflicted serious injuries on their bodies with razor blades.

He said the attack was due to a little misunderstanding over a customer. Dalhatu added that the complainants were taken to Wuse General Hospital, Abuja, for treatment.

The prosecutor noted that 'the first defendant was the one who used the razor blade on the girls, while the second and third defendant were her girls.'

When the charges were read to them, the first defendant, Gabriel pleaded guilty while the second and third defendants pleaded not.
