Arusha. A Dar es Salaam resident, Said Ally, has lost his final bid for freedom after the Court of Appeal dismissed his second appeal against a 30-year jail sentence for armed robbery involving Sh23,000.
The verdict, delivered on June 20, 2025, by a panel of three justices in the names of Barke Sehel, Khamis Ramadhan Shaaban and Dr Ubena Agatho, affirmed previous rulings by both the Kinondoni District Court and the High Court, which had found Ally guilty of armed robbery under section 287A of the Penal Code.
