child. I did not play any role in the recording of the statements of the defendants. M.L. Maidoki Esq: Who owns the exhibits you tendered between the 3 defendants. PW4: I don’t know and I don’t know whether the exhibits do not belong to any of them. I was not at the crime scene. M.L. Maidoki Esq: That is all. Court: Re-examination. M.B. Abubakar Esq: No any re-examination. Court: The witness is hereby discharged. M.B. Abubakar PSC: That is the case of the prosecution and we hereby close our case. Kamal O. Fagbemi Esq: We intend to call only one (1) witness the 1st defendant. Court: Proceed. DW1 (after affirmation): My name is Umaru Umaru. Presently I live at Correctional Centre Sokoto, but I was initially living at our village Kibiyare. I know the reason why I was brought before the court. The reason why I was taken to prison was because of my son Abu and it was due to a fight between my son (Abu) daughter and the 2 children of my late son Abu. It started when the children of Abu were laughing at my daughter when they went to fetch water when one of the deceased children hit my daughter on the head. When I was told about the incident, I reconciled and settled them. It is not true that I conspired with the 2 other defendants and killed Abubakar Umaru. I saw the exhibits tendered through PW5, but it is not that we used them in killing Abubakar Umaru. I Page 21 of 29
