Muturu's lawyer, Mr. Omemiroro Maxwell Ogedegbe, received the evidence through a released suspect identified simply as Musa, Daily Post reports.
Mr Ogedengbe shared the information via his Facebook page a day after Musa was released by the Nigerian Army and was compensated with N100,000.
The lawyer claimed that Musa came to his office at Okoribi, in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State with the torn boxer the previous day.
“Aboy Francis gave the said Musa his torn underwear (boxer) to give to his lawyer as a proof of the fact he is alive and in the DIA cell”, he said.
Mr Ogedegbe stated that he invited Muturu's wife to confirm that the boxer was for her husband, noting that, “Musa is willing and ready to act as a witness for Aboy Muturu.”
