The appellant’s argument that allegations against her at the trial court ought to be through information sheet and not charge sheet is not attainable, as she does not have to right to detect the mode of arraignment or charge.

On issues canvassed by the appellant that the trial judge assumed the role of an investigator was taken out of context.
