“I was working near the headquarters Inn hotel, I saw the caretaker of the hotel who is the accused person in the case and was also my friend. In March 2021 and April 2022 I saw the lorry which came and picked some seats, I asked the caretaker why the hotel owner was removing everything and he told me that the complainant had a plan to rent the facility,” he told the court.
He testified in court that on the next day another lorry visited the place and again some items were picked and driven off.
“The other day I also saw another lorry arriving at the facility, some big machines were picked from the gym door and were packed in it, I was not concerned but later when I asked him what was happening, he told me that the Complainant (MAMA) had sent his brother to pick the items as she was renting the place,” he told the court.
He testified in court that one day, the complainant visited the place to clean alongside a certain girl but she was very shocked.
“When she arrived, she started screaming that her items had been stolen. I quickly told her what was happening and how her caretaker was behind all the theft, the matter was reported to the police and all the accused persons were arrested and arranged in court.
In court they placed a spirited defense telling the court that they never committed the offence.
