a. That he was arrested by police at the Bwari Market but he did not commit the alleged offence but in the morning of the said robbery, he was at the National Hospital and after a series of tests, he was given the laboratory test reports. A copy of the lab test was shown to me and attached herewith. It is marked "EXHIBIT A1".
