DW1 (after affirmation): My name is Bilal Muhammed. I live at Kofar Atiku, Sokoto. Sometimes in March 2020 on Tuesday or Wednesday at about 11pm I went to Kwamberu junction at a computer centre for the purpose of transferring films, and while I was standing, I saw some boys coming towards me and one of them cut me on the head and another one cut me from behind until I collapsed. The boys thereafter ran away and entered one corner. While I was lying down one man came on a motorcycle and on seeing my condition, he took me to the hospital. While we were waiting for the treatment of my wounds, some people came to the hospital with one boy called Ahmed. The officers of the Specialist then upon seeing our condition, they referred us to UDUTH for treatment and myself and Ahmed were conveyed to UDUTH in one vehicle. At the hospital I was asked about my relations and I told them my relations live at Kofar Atiku Area, Sokoto. Then one policeman came together with my uncle for my treatment in person of Mallam Ibrahim. That is all I can remember. S. Ovia Esq: You said you sustained injuries on your head? DW1: Yes and I can show the area on my head to the court to see (and the witness bent his head for the court to see). S. Ovia Esq: Do you have any other thing to say? DW1: Yes but that is all. S. Ovia Esq: That is all for this witness. Page 20 of 22
