PW6 (After affirmation): My name is Sgt. Yunusa Zaki, Force No.
503435. I am a Public Servant working with Nigerian
Police Sokoto Command, attached to DCB, Gwiwa
Police Station, Sokoto as an IPO. I have been an IPO
for about 3 years. I know the 1st Defendants, and I
came to know the 1st Defendant on 13/12/2018 at
about 1145hrs when I was in the office as night IPO
when Sgt. Salisu Shehu attached to Gwiwa Division
came with Hussaini Shehu (the 1st Defendant) that
they went to Sama road, opposite Speaker’s house to
rob people there. They used cutlass on one boy on his
shoulder, that was why he was arrested. But that they
were 3 in number the other 2 had ran away. The said
Sgt. Salish Shehu handed over the 1st Defendant to
me for investigation. As soon as the 1st Defendant was
handed over to me, I recorded his statement in Hausa
language under word of caution. After I finished the
recording, I read over the statement to him. He
appeared to understand and also signed, and I also
countersigned. The 1st Defendant earlier before I
started recording his statement, also signed the word
of caution. I translated the Hausa version of the 1st
Defendant’s statement into English language. Then
