The two have been litigating over a plot of land and on April 17, last year, the chief drove his car to the residence of the complainant, where he hurled insults on her. He accused her of witchcraft and threatened to pull down her house. Comfort made a formal report to the police who invited the chief but h= e did not honour the invitation. This forced the police to serve him with criminal summons to appear before court.
