The 1st Defendant was arrested by police officers of
Gwiwa Divisional Police Headquarters. The 1st
Defendant was not arrested at the scene of the crime.
I don’t know the date he was arrested. I was not the
one who recovered the Exhibits. I don’t know who
actually recover the Exhibits but it was transferred to
Gwiwa Police Station.
Abdullateef Akangbe Esq: Who arrested the 2nd and 3rd Defendants?
PW3:
Police officers of the State CID, Sokoto.
Abdullateef Akangbe Esq: Is your role limited to recording of the
statements of the 2nd and 3rd Defendants?
PW3:
No, I don’t know the 2nd and 3rd Defendants before
they were arrested. The 1st Defendant acted as pointer
of his co-accused persons which led to the arrest of 2nd
and 3rd Defendants. I did not find any Exhibit on the
2nd and 3rd Defendants at the point of their arrest.
Abdullateef Akangbe Esq: Can you recall the date of the incident?

I cannot because it was a transferred case. All the
other officers of our team are alive and presently in
the office.
