Ghetto radio presenter has said one of the regrets he has in life is being involved in crimes that have left him haunted to date due to their nature.

The reformed robber, who was speaking during an interview with Massawe Japanni said

'I never used to live a good life,

I used to piga watu ngeta and then rob them. We did that for almost 5 years, we would get arrested then come out and continue with criminal activities.

There is a day people were going for a funeral and we robbed them 250 K and the body stayed for one more month before being buried.'

Adding

'When we attacked the car there were two women who were clinging to a bag so we took the bag we found some documents and the cash.

The body was to be released on that day, we told God to forgive us for what we were about to do.

I regret a lot.'

Kafu said that on a different date they had robbed a woman who was on her way to deliver.

' There is a day we hijacked a personal car with a man and a woman. She was being taken to deliver. 

We robbed them then took their car keys and threw them away so that they do not report us.'

Adding

'When you are in crime you never realize the bad impact you have on people,you only realize that once you stop participating in crime.'

King Kafu was first arrested at around 11/12.

'There was a raid in Kariokor , a journalist alikua amepigwa ngeta and his camera stolen so we had been arrested as nine people.

We were paraded and the person had been told to identify those who attacked him.'

When the journalist failed to identify who had robbed him, King Kafu and his friends were taken to Pangani.

'We were taken to Pangani police station and the journalist was called to come identify us but but he could could not.

We stayed in different cells for three weeks.
