buy mangoes the deceased poured water on me while he was
washing his motorcycle. Dispute arose between us and chatted
bitterly with him. We were separated and we all left. About 4 weeks
later I was met and asked if I know Abubakar Muhammed and I
responded ‘yes’ because we lived in the same area. His relatives
then accused me that when we had a dispute that I said I will kill
him and now he is nowhere to be found and that I am the one that
took him away. My parents then handed me to the deceased
relatives that they should go with me till after investigation and
verifying the whereabout of the deceased. After sometime the D.P.O.
of the Police Station intends to release me when the relatives of the
deceased came and informed the DPO that the corpse of the
deceased is found around Kwalkwalawa. The knife that was seen
with me is the one that I am using in cutting rotten mangoes. I am
selling big mangoes and any one that is not good I use the knife to
cut it out. They met me at my selling point with my business going
on. The knife was with me at home after I closed and went home
and the knife was on top of the mangoes I am selling.
Cross-Examination (Malami): Yes I lived at Kofar Kware.
Re-Examination: Nil.
