Man Leaves Prison by Mistake

Introduction

A court looked at why Ifedayo Adeyeye left prison too early. The prison did not tell the police.

Main Body

Ifedayo Adeyeye took a child from France to Nigeria. A judge told him to return the child. He did not listen, so he went to prison for one year. On April 21, the prison made a mistake. They let him go after only one day. He spent money and walked around London. The prison told the police three days later. By then, he probably went to Spain. The judge was angry. He said the prison was too slow. Many other people left prison by mistake too. 179 people left between 2025 and 2026. The government says the prisons are old and need more money. They will spend 82 million pounds to fix this.

Conclusion

The police are looking for the man. They think he is in Spain.

πŸ•’ The 'Past' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us things that already happened. We use special 'action words' to show the past.

The Change:

  • Tell β†’ Told (The prison told the police)
  • Make β†’ Made (They made a mistake)
  • Go β†’ Went (He went to Spain)
  • Say β†’ Said (The judge said it was slow)

Quick Rule: Most words just get an -ed at the end (like walked or looked), but the words above are 'rebels'β€”they change completely. To reach A2, you must memorize these rebels because we use them every day to tell stories.
