A man who escaped from lawful police custody twice was yet again arraigned before Mombasa Law Courts to answer to charges of escaping from Central Police Station.

Hussein Abdalla Mohamed who appeared before Mombasa Senior principal magistrate Vincent Adet informed the court that although his first escape was aided by a police officer his second prison break was inspired by the devil.

“It’s the devil who made me break out of prison for the second time, I was asleep when I heard a voice that the rest of the cellmates were escaping, on waking up I found that there was a big hole and the devil just told me to escape I did not lead the other escapees in staging the prison break,” he told the court.

He further informed the court that following his escape, he decided to surrender to the authorities at Bamburi Police Station since he was now ready to mend his ways.

“I know it was wrong for me to escape, but am now ready to carry the burden for all other inmates who managed to escape. I have a lot of faith in this court,” he told Adet.
