An armed robber reportedly arrested by the Nigerian Police force has said, it’s going to be better if the police can just shot to kill him than keep him in prison.
Speaking to the press after his arrest, the young man said he was arrested somewhere in 2018 for a minor crime but came back from prison to pick arms to rob because inside the prison where he spent some time made him more hardened than reforming him.
The armed robber who was enjoying the paparazzi during an interview after his court judgment is heard begging the Police to waste him since he will be more of a dreaded criminal when he finally gets his freedom.
According to him, the last time he went to prison as a phone snatcher but came back and upgraded into using arms after joining a gang he used to share cells within the prison.
He added he knows nobody is ready to help him and because he wouldn’t want to visit any further harm to Nigerians when he is released, it’s better they kill him to end his life.
Ideally, prisons are meant to reform people who break the law, but the case seems to be different in many African countries.
Most armed robbers or gun-wielding people who terrorize civilians are usually ex-convicts which only raises questions about whether or not prison reforms people or worsens what they are which brought them to prison.

He doesn’t know want he is going to turn into when he goes back the prison again so the young man is asking the police to just take his life so that he doesn’t have to go back in there and probably come out worse.
