Nakasari, Sokoto. I am 31 years old. On 9/3/2022 there was a joint patrol team comprising of Police, Airforce, Civil and DSS was constituted and was made because there was insecurity at Runjin Sambo Area, University gate, and we were posted to the University gate as our duty post. While on patrol at our stop and search post including the defendant. When one car approached us, we stopped it and then the defendant went to search the car to know where he was coming from and where he is going. When the driver attempted to give the defendant money, the defendant said no and that if he is not carrying anything criminal, we will allow him to go. The defendant then asked the driver to come and open his booth. And the driver came down and opened the booth and after they finished searching, then we allowed the driver to go. After the driver has gone we saw some people with torch lights approaching us, we then asked the people who are there?” We started hearing gun shots as a result I fell on the ground and started crawling to a nearby ditch and took cover with the defendant. After some few minutes we came out from where we hide and I then saw that the driver was shot. That is all. M.A. Mustapha Esq: That is all. Court: Cross-Examination A.A.
