“You told the court in your testimony that on that fateful day you called the deceased several times on the phone, but she refused to pick.

“Why did you go to her house uninvited,”?

Frank said: “she sent me the video herself.

“I did not intend to kill Ummukulsum and I don't want to be killed. She injured me on my genitals and I cannot show the court it is against our Chinese culture, and I am a Muslim.

“On that fateful day, she called on WhatsApp call and told me to bring her pet dog, Charlie.

“On reaching her house, after refusing to pick up my call, I sent her a text message, later her mother( Fatima Zubairu (Pw1) opened the gate and I got in to pick Charlie.
