The woman on hearing that question put to her with so much smugness lost her temper and began to scream in court.
"What proof ?! It was him that robbed me" she said pointing at the accussed. "In this Owerri, broad daylight. This Onioshi, he robbed me on Okigwe road. That ugly face, those tribal marks and that ugly squint. I now have nightmares daily !!"
