He said when he went to check, no one was there. He said soon after, someone knocked on the gate again but left before he could attend to him.He said he kept a watch from the roof of his house and saw that his neighbour’s son knock on his gate and leave without waiting. He said he admonished the boy and complained to his parents. He said Usman has not stopped knocking on his gate despite several warnings. He said when he approached the police, they did not take him seriously.
He asked the court to direct the police to register a case.
