Chief Inspector Anaman said Quashie went and stood in a plantain farm close to Sabina's house and asked her to come over.

She said when the complainant went out, Quashie presented the half piece of cloth to her but she refused to accept it and this infuriated him and he asked Sabina to refund all the monies he had given her.
