I rob to pay my fees – SS2 student tells Yola court

A Senior Secondary School 2 (SS2) student in Adamawa State has said he got into robbery to raise money to pay his fees.

The young man, Abubakar Mohammed, quite old for his class in school at 23 years, allegedly broke into the house of one Maryam Jamilu at Wauru Jabbe in Yola South Local Government Area (LGA) in broad daylight brandishing a knife and threatening to kill her.

Available details on Tuesday indicated that this happened on February 11, when he allegedly attacked Maryam Jamilu in her palour where he took her mobile phones: a Spark 6 model valued at N68, 000, and a small Itel phone valued at N6,000, as well as N200 cash.

Luck, however, ran out on Abubakar Mohammed after sometime, when Maryam was seeing off a visitor and sighted him

Recognising him as the one who had dispossessed her of her valuables, she raised the alarm, which led to his arrest.

The SS II student of Demsawo Government Secondary School Yola, has been brought before a Yola Court where he has confessed to a charge of armed robbery.

At the Yola Magistrate Court I where he is being tried, Abubakar admitted that he robbed Maryam and that he did it to pay his fees.

He said he engaged in armed robbery to raise money to pay his 1st and 2nd term school fees as his father is dead and there is nobody to help him.

After the plea of the defendant was taken, the prosecutor, ASP Francis Audu, urged the court to remand the defendant at a correctional centre to enable them transmit the case file to the state director of public prosecution for legal advice.

I'm not surprised. A lot of people are not smart. Armed robbery is outdated. The sooner people realise this, the better for them
If you want to engage in crime, think big.
Instead of armed robbery, do Yahoo, it shows how smart you are.
Nobody will burn you alive or beat you to stupor if you are s yahoo boy ( not yahoo plus).

Wait o, did i just read N200 cash


Comrade u no try at all

Damnnnn
Poverty is a disease.....
I won't really blame the guy though

He was hungry to achieve his aim.

Na school fees he pay no be laptop he go buy...

Person wey suppose don graduate from university with ease

Well, regardless of the convincing reason, paying school fees shouldn't be a pardonable excuse to rob at knifepoint,. Definitely, if he grows up, he will use proceeds of drugs trafficking to buy PDP or APC form and become a senator just like the way we have some presently.

As it is now, he should be rehabilitated and made retrace his path

too bad

Sorry bro..
Your country failed you, your God failed you, the universe failed you. Sorry again

No amount of sugarcoating can reduce the gravity of the young man's offence to a misdemeanor the law is the law and the full weight of it should be applied.

He is a thief, at 23 , every criminal has a story to tell

Robbery is robbery

Make them free the guy jare.

By the way I thought femi adeshit said bubu would sign the electoral bill in matter of hours yesterday

I love the guys quest for education, poverty breeds many things. He loves education but he was pursuing it the wrong way. He'll do the time. Robbery is what I'll not encourage people to do. The system of this country failed many people.

Meanwhile, I'm yet to see EFCC, NDLEA and their likes parade the SuperThief. But if its ordinary people, it won't take them 24hrs to parade them.

23 years and still In Ss2?
Northern Nigeria is finished

A thief is a thief. At 23 still in secondary school.

Hmmmmmm.... Is that a genuine reason to steal? School that doesnt gurrantee u success

The bigger thieves are at Aso rock
