POLICE RE- ARREST "SHILA" BOY 2 WEEKS AFTER CHIEF JUDGE FREED HIM FROM PRISON



R-L: Khalifa Modibbo and Ibrahim Garba


Adamawa State Police Command has re- arrested a young man identified as Khalifa Modibbo for "Shila" gangsterism.


Khalifa, who hails from Hayin Gada in Girei LGA, was re-arrested barely 2 weeks after regaining his freedom from prison custody in Yola, Adamawa state.


He was among 100 awaiting trial inmates and convicts who were pardoned when the Jail Delivery Committee headed by the Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Hafsat Abdulrahman, visited the Correctional Centre for jail delivery.


Khalifa was arrested in the early 2024 and remanded in prison custody for the same offence of criminal conspiracy and theft where he had spent 6 months behind bars.


After regaining his freedom about 2 weeks ago, the 18 years old unrepentant "Shila" boy along side Ibrahim Garba, popurlarly known as Ibbi of Jabbore, Gindin Goruba, were nabbed for the offence of criminal conspiracy and theft.


During their operation on tricycle, Khalifa and Ibrahim picked their victim at Yolde Pate Junction in Yola South LGA to Yola town main market.


Khalifa who pretended to be a co- passenger used the opportunity and put his hands in the pocket of the man and removed the sum of N26,000.


On noticing that Khalifa had removed money from his pocket, the man asked Ibrahim who was riding the tricycle to proceed to Wuro Hausa police station where he will get down.


On their arrival at the Wuro Hausa Police Station, the man raised alarm which attracted the people and intercepted them and immediately handed them over to the police.


The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Yahaya Ngurore, who confirmed the arrest, said that the Commissioner of Police, Morris Dankombo, had ordered for investigation and prosecution of the youngmen who already confessed to the crime.
