Nollywood Actress who was sentenced to death, recaptured 6 Years after Prison Break
Nollywood Hausa actress, Rabi Ismail has been recaptured by Intelligence Unit of the Nigerian Prisons Service with the aid from the State Security Service, SSS.
This re-arrest comes six years after Rabi escaped from Hadejia Prison, Jigawa State, on December 16, 2011.
The Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Prisons Service, Francis Enobore who disclosed this in a statement yesterday said the prisoner was sentenced to death by hanging, for culpable homicide by a High Court in Kano on the 5th of January, 2005.
The court had found her guilty of drugging, drowning and killing a male friend, Mr Auwalu Ibrahim, in 2002 to acquire his property in Kano.
In July 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the sentence of the lower courts that sentenced her to death by hanging.
Enobore said Rabi Ismail was subsequently held in Kaduna Central prison from where she was transferred to Hadejia prison before she escaped about 6 years ago.
She was re-arrested by the Intelligence Unit of the Nigerian Prisons Service with the support of men of the Department of State Services. And Enobore expressed the appreciation of the Controller-General of Prisons, Jaa’faru Ahmed to the DSS and the police for their assistance in recapturing the fugitive.
He appealed to members of the public to continue to provide useful information on escapees and other criminal elements to security agents, noting that such outlaws posed security threat to the society.
Enobore said the CG had directed that security measures be strengthened to prevent prison inmates from escaping.
“Other escapees still at large will be fished out no matter how long it takes,” he added.
Filmmaker/actor Yomi Fabiyi is angry at cyber bullies!
Actor/Filmmaker, Yomi Fabiyi, in a rather lengthy post, addressed the issue of cyber-bullying and trolling. Fabiyi urged celebrities to ignore these ‘psycho patients’ who try to feel important while using cheap data to carry out their acts.
Read what he wrote below.
We are in a precarious situation now that anybody see those living in glass houses (Artists, celebs, public officers) as “SOFT TARGETS” for cyber-bullying and social media blackmail with lied, unverified facts, lies and bigotory.
They believe hurting your brand online, or creating an impression about your personality with less than N100 value of data, thinking it is payback and expect you to loose sleep over it. Iro, ofo ojo keji oja (NO TIME).
The best way any artist can survive this era of cyber-bullying through to cheap blackmail from people we know or we don’t know until the Government fix this rot, everyone should try as much as possible not to respond to irrelevancies online especially those with malicious motives. People must talk or act evil at any slight opportunities. When you reply, you make such person look important than they think they are. Develop a thick skin and simply ignore.
Most bullying don’t last, too many bitter and depressed people out their. Some are psycho patients who are undergoing rehab with an android phones, some will everly take undue advantage. If you have a good publicist/management or lawyer, they know how to handle the rest.
When we ruin the positives of social media in this side of the clan our eyes go open. Abuse, insults and trolling are not public opinion, you are weak if it gets to you. Real successful people dont pay attention. If people will not dig deep before conclusion, catch fun on your page simultaneously and ignore the evil exploit.
