‘Angry Pigs’ 12hr broken leg ordeal
A UNIVERSITY student who jumped out of a window to escape security guards when he was stealing computers from his college lay in a bush with a broken leg for 12 hours until his companion returned with a wheelbarrow. Femi Adekele, 25, of The Maiston, Ballymun, said he needed the computers because he wanted to design a computer game called Angry Pigs to rival the popular Angry Birds. He hid in a bush on college grounds overnight, but when his accomplice returned the next day to take Adekele away in the wheelbarrow, they aban-

doned the ‘farcical’ rescue operation as security guards spotted them. Adekele pleaded guilty to attempted burglary and burglary at Dublin City University in December 2012. Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that on the night of December 22, 2012, the pair were caught in the act of stealing computer equipment from a computer lab and jumped out of an upstairs window, whereupon Adekele broke his leg. After his arrest, the student told gardaí he needed the computers be-
cause he wanted to develop his Angry Pigs computer game app. He had planned to make his fortune from this game. The court also heard Adekele, who was born in Nigeria but is now an Irish citizen, had ‘brought great shame on his family’. He was in the middle of studying for a Masters degree when he carried out the burglary, but this has not been completed. Judge Martin Nolan said Adekele’s crime led to a ‘comical situation’ and noted he has no previous convictions. He suspended a sentence of two years.
