Kamal O. Fagbemi Esq: When the matter came before you, did you
reported this matter to police?
PW1:
No I did not.
M.L. Maidoki Esq: What did the deceased complaint to you?
PW1:
That he want to be reconciled with his father because they are
not in good terms, but I don’t know the nature of the problem
between the deceased and his father. I however asked the
deceased about the problem and he said his father hate him
and the father confirmed to me and said the deceased is not
obedient to him, but he did not disclose the nature of the
disobedience. I am not
misunderstanding between the
defendants because they are
defendant has ever informed
however aware of any
deceased and the 2nd and 3rd
his junior brothers. The 1st
me that he had previously
requested the deceased to pack his belongings from the house
and move to where he gave him and I also related this to the
deceased and the deceased said he was not going anywhere, I
however don’t know who between Abu and the 1st defendant
who attacked first during the incident. Everything happened
there and at the time of the incident both the deceased and
the 2nd and 3rd defendants were armed with axe. It is a
notorious fact in our village that the deceased and his father
are not in good terms and the 1st defendant even before the
last incident.
