Ekundayo told the court presided over by Magistrate Ade Adefulire:
“The Muslim cleric sent his daughter to give the beggars, near the Mosque, the bean-cakes, but when one of them (the beggars) opened the bean-cake, he found needles in the middle.
Other beggars were notified; one of them, who knows the daughter and the school where she teaches, led them there and she was apprehended. She also led police to her father.”
