The payments were allegedly made in five instalments: two into British accounts belonging to Amedeo William Dante and Dittimi Tamara-Finide while three were made into Nigerian accounts belonging to Alhassan Davide and Edin Obaro. .
.
The petitioner also alleged that the defendant was reaching her through some English, Canadian and Nigerian telephone numbers. .
