EX CONVICT RE-ARRESTED AFTER TWO DAYS FOR ROBBERY

Posted by on
A 27-year-old man, Uba Kenneth, has been arrested by the police in Lagos State, less than 48 hours, after his family struggled to get him released from Kirikiri Prisons.
 
The suspect was last week arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) for allegedly being a member of the gang that operated in Berger, CMD, Magodo, Ketu and Ikeja.

The RRS had in April this year arrested the suspect, who was handed over to another police formation for further investigations and interrogations.

Uba, who was sentenced to six month imprisonment with an option of fine back then, told the police that he spent only 11 days in the prison.

“My family rallied round to meet up with my bail conditions. I served at the Kirikiri prison for 11 days. My other colleagues were still in the prison serving their jail terms respectively,” he revealed.

Six other suspects arrested alongside Uba include, Philip Otameh,19, Toheeb Saka, 24, Humphrey Godwin, 21, David John, 20, Moses Ogoriba, 22, and Chinedu Godwin, 32, who all confessed to the crime as the only source of their livelihood due to hardship in the country.

Toheeb, one of the arrested suspects, said that his parents pushed him into robbery. “My parents are so callous and wicked. They don’t know how I and my siblings survive. I am the third child of family of seven, but our parents had abandoned all of us. I regret my actions and plead for mercy,” he said.

The image maker in charge of the state police command, Dolapo Badmos confirmed the arrest of the suspects and added that the state police command would leave no stone unturned to ensure that crime is reduced to the barest minimum in the state.

She also added that Uba and other suspects had been charged to court.

Fredie Blom's identity documents showed he was born in Eastern Cape province in May 1904, although that was never verified by Guinness World Records. When he was a teenager, his entire family was wiped out by the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. He went on to survive two world wars and apartheid. Mr Blom told the BBC in 2018 that there was no special secret to his longevity . "There's only one thing - it's the man above [God]. He's got all the power. I have nothing.

Mr Blom spent most of his life as a labourer - first on a farm and then in the construction industry - and only retired when he was in his 80s.   Fredie Blom's identity documents list his date of birth as 8 May 1904 Although he gave up drinki
