“On 31/3/2020 while I was coming back
from where I was doing my trader at about
1020pm, I met one Ahmed a son to my
relation and who is now dead. I met him lying
down in pool of his blood…and I asked him
who did this to you? and the boy said “it was
Bilal” and who happens to be the defendant.”
Corroborating the evidence of PW1, PW2 also
testified as follows:“On 31/3/2020 I was sitting in my shop and
called my junior brother Ahmad. Ahmad was
the deceased. I asked Ahmad to bring food to
me at my shop. After he brought the food, he
told me that he wanted to go to Kwanberu to
collect a message and I said is OK. After he
left, I heard him shouting before he reached
the place calling my name “Jafar! Jafar!!.
Come”. I then rushed to where he was and
found him in pool of blood and I asked him,
who did this to you? and he said “it was Bilal
and other 3 persons.”
From the evidence of the above two (2) prosecution
witnesses, it appears to me that the evidence that
appeared to link the defendant with the cause of death
of the deceased, is the dying declaration of one late
Ahmed who mentioned the name of defendant and
others as the persons who were responsible for what
happened to him.
PW1 testified as follows:“I met one Ahmed a son to my relation and
who is now dead. I met him lying down in
pool of his blood…and I asked him who did
this to you? and the boy said “it was Bilal”
and who happens to be the defendant.”
