A.A. Illo AG/PT: Our PW2 is one Ibrahim Ibrahim Magaji and will
testify in Hausa language.
PW2 (after affirmation): My name is Ibrahim Ibrahim Magaji. I am 30
years old. I live at Nakasari, Gagi Area Sokto. I am a civil
servant attached to Security and Civil Defence Corps. I have
been working with the organization for about 7 years. Yes I
know the defendant. His name is Aliyu. I know him when we
were working as a Joint Taskforce between officers of the
Civil Defence, Air Force, Police and members of the DSS at
Usman Danfodiyo University gate in March 2021. On that
day while we were on patrol in the night at about 1-2am and
while we were on duty together with the defendant, one
Toyota Car was coming towards us, and the defendant
stopped the car, and asked the driver to come down and open
the boot of the car which the driver did but nothing was seen
inside the boot and the defendant asked the driver to go. We
then saw a torch light being lightened on our faces and I
asked who are these people and at the sometime asked them
to stop and thereafter started hearing gun shots and at that
time we were all around the area. When I heard the gun shot,
I laid down and started crawling until I reach the room of the
security gateman of the University gate and hide myself. So
when I observed people have started coming out, I also come
out from where I was hiding and saw the Toyota driver lying
on the ground dead with blood coming out from his head. At
that time there was a vehicle from Kwanni Police Station and
we were handcuffed myself and the defendant and taken to
CID Office where I stayed for 2 days before I was granted
