Prevention etc) Act, 2015.”


They each pleaded “guilty” to the charges when they were read to them. 


In view of their pleas,  prosecution counsel, H.U. Kofarnaisa, reviewed the facts of the case through the investigating officers, Ibrahim Bukar, Samson Aguma and Ruth Odang. 


Kofarnaisa, thereafter, tendered the defendants’ statements and mobile devices recovered from them.
