Mustapha Danjuma Esq: Before you recorded the statements of the
defendants, did you give this their right to call any of their
family members or lawyers?
PW3:
The defendants did not call anybody before they made their
statements.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: To whom was the letter of complaint
addressed?
PW3:
It was addressed to the Deputy of Commissioner of Police,
Intelligence Response Team, Force Headquarters, Gusefe,
Abuja and the letter did not carry the name of any person as a
suspect but it carried the phone number of the 1 st defendant,
but I cannot recall the number and the complaint letter did
not indicate the family number of the victim.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: Did you recover anything from the defendant?
PW3:
Yes but it is only the Techno mobile phone and the number.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: Can you tell the place of arrest by the
defendants?
PW3:
I was not part of the officers who arrested the defendant but I
was told that they were arrested at Kalmanu Village in Illela
Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: The defendants were in your custody for about
2 years?
PW3:
No because after we completed our investigation, we handed
the defendants to Sokoto Police Command for prosecution.
But I cannot remember how many days they spent in court
custody.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: Can you remember the day and year you
transferred the defendants to C.I.D Sokoto?
