O.B. Akusanya Esq: That is all for this witness.
Court:
Cross examination.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: Did you receive the defendants and their
statements on the same date?
PW5:
Yes and the defendants were in detention for about 30 days
before they were brought to me.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: Was any of their relative present when you
were questioning them before you endorse the statements?
PW5:
No and the case has complications because they mentioned
some other gang members and I so asked members of my to
go and get them arrested, but despite our best efforts, we did
not arrested anybody again. For the period they stayed with
us we were looking for the rest of their members. We did not
recover any weapon with the defendants but they did
mentioned who is in possession of weapons. We only
recovered a handset they used in negotiating for the ransom. I
think it should be a Techno handset and the hand set has 2
Sim cards but the Glo Sim is our concern. I however cannot
remember the number in full but it started with 0915.
Mustapha Danjuma Esq: All your evidence is what you were told to
come and tell this court?
PW5:
Is not true because it is what I know. I did not however
visited the houses of the defendants. I did not also visit the
scenes of crimes.
