Strange...I Am A Car Thief, Not Armed Robber, Says Inmate

An inmate at the Okene Medium Security Prisons, Lucky Samuel, who is accused of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery on Wednesday in Lokoja

told the Kogi Chief Judge, Justice Nasir Ajanah, that he was not an armed robber.

Mr Car thief Samuel told the Chief Judge, who was reviewing warrants of Awaiting Trial Inmates at the prison that ``I Thief Samuel only stole a car which was parked in the absence of the owner but was never involved in armed robbery''.

The inmate, who is standing trial before a Lokoja Senior Magistrate Court on a two-count charge of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery, said the police framed the charges against him. >> *coughs*not impossible.

Samuel further said he only disconnected the ignition of the jeep he stole in Abuja that led to his arrest, adding that his friend, one Hadi Ibrahim, who knew nothing about the car theft, was also detained at the prison and was being tried along with him.

Ajanah asked why the inmate was not summarily tried but kept in prison since June 24, 2011 when he was arraigned. The Officer in-Charge of Legal Matters at the Kogi Police Command, Mr Theophilus Oteme, told the chief judge that the accused did not confess the crime while in police custody. lol police
