PW4:
ASP Ahmed Abubakar is my name and I am not
Muhammadu Gidado nor Muhammadu Magaji. My name is
not on the list of witnesses attached to the charge sheet shown
to me. Umaru Umaru is the 1st defendant and I know him on
the date when he was brought to my office. I don’t know
whether the 1st defendant is the father of Abubakar Umaru
(the deceased). The case file shown to me relates to the case
of conspiracy and homicide against the 3 defendants. The role
each of the defendants played in the case is best known by the
investigating officers. As a father I cannot kill any of my
children but I don’t know if the 1st defendant can kill his own
