scene. At that time, we sighted the defendant and the civil
defence officer stopping a car but we were not hearing what
they were saying. We then heard the gun shots, and as such
we all lied down and we saw the defendant and the civil
defence officer run into the University gate. After we woke up
from where we were lying down, we heard passengers saying
“they killed him and we met the victim down lying. Then our
O/C ASP Zakariya investigated the number of our bullets
and fond them complete except that of the defendant who
was arrested by the vigilante and said he was the one who
fried shot. After the DPO of Kwanni Division arrived, the
defendant was taken to CID Sokoto and we were instructed
to take the corpse to UDUTH. Whether took him to
UDUTH where the doctors confirmed his death. We were
then asked to convey the corpse to Mortuary. We then
proceeded to CID Sokoto where the case is being investigated
and it was confirmed nobody used his gun except the
defendant. It was confirmed by surely the riffle of the
defendant
and
the
incomplete
number
of
his
live
ammunitions. We made statements at Kwanni Division.
After that day, I was at the CID to give evidence during his
trite asked today.
