It was said that Mama G instructed the barman to serve customers that came to the bar throughout her stay, and promised to pick up the bill for the drinks they consumed.

A man had came to the bar with his 15 friends at about 6.30pm to celebrate his birthday. Mama G allegedly ordered many rounds of drinks for the man and his friends and told Ogunbona to add their bill to hers.

Ogunbona said he, two of his workers and the chief security officer of the shops in the area followed the car, but the security guards at the estate gate did not allow them in. He said,:

“Mama G came to my bar and ordered drinks. She told me to serve everybody that came to the bar and promised to pay. In the afternoon, I told her that her bill was over N200,000. .

"She slapped my face and asked me whether she looked like a debtor. I went to report the case to the police and on January 11, her husband transferred N200,000 into my bank account. I called him and asked for the remaining money, he said I should contact his wife’s lawyer. .

"When I called the lawyer, he said I should manage the money like that. The case was transferred to the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, in February 2017, and the Investigating Police Officer in charge, has been telling me to be patient; but I have children and a wife to cater to."
