PG’s gaffe lands man in jail

A ZIMBABWEAN nurse based in Australia was wrongly arrested when he flew in on Boxing Day and spent two nights in police custody for accruing $14 400 in maintenance arrears.

It later emerged Kephas Gombe (27) had not been served with maintenance order papers for the charge he was held for.

Gombe regained his freedom yesterday when the prosecution withdrew the charges after realising the warrant of arrest had been issued in error.
