The evidence, labeled exhibit F, was a conclusion of his analysis of the defendant’s iPhone X version 10.6, model A 1901.
He told the court that a total of 977 short message service (SMS) and 1433 chat messages were also discovered.
The witness read out a plethora of credit card numbers and messages sent from the phone on different dates and times, as well as OTP codes sent.
He also listed some of the recipients of the messages to include one Yadd and another Raze.
Anosike confirmed that all analysed texts were contained in a Compact Disc (CD); that the prosecution only printed out those portions it considered material to its case.
