“The victim revealed that after consuming the drugs given to her by Adewumi Ademiloye, she could not remember to go back home. She stated that she is now a drug addict due to the amount of drugs consumed within this period of three years.
“According to the victim, Adewumi Ademiloye had a series of sexual intercourse with her and has given her to different men on many occasions each time he does not have money.
