POLICE are holding Nageri Kombo (21), a student with Green Acres Secondary School who stormed into the soccer pitch and hugged Brazilian soccer maestro Ricardo Kaka, during a friendly game between Taifa Stars and Brazil at the National Stadium on Monday evening.
The Temeke Regional Police Commander (RPC), Mr David Miseme, said today that the suspect, a resident of Sekenke in Kinondoni District, was detained at Chang'ombe Police Station in Temeke District.
"He strayed into the football pitch after jumping over the fence and hugged a Brazil footballer named Kaka, much to the surprise of all players and spectators," said Mr Miseme.
Information had it that Kombo had vowed to his friends and relatives that he would hug Kaka once he saw him - a promise that he fulfilled after invading the pitch unnoticed by security policemen.
Further information had it that before dashing into the pitch, Kombo emptied his trouser pockets and handed valuables including a mobile phone and a wallet to a friend. He also handed over a pair of shoes as he was sure that he would be arrested for the foray.
Mr Miseme said the suspect was arrested shortly after accomplishing his mission and that police were going on with investigations. During the incident, Kaka remained calm as other players looked astonished.
Kaka's transfer fee of 60 million pound sterling from AC Milan to Real Madrid last year was the second highest after Christiano Ronaldo, who moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid at a cost of 80 million pounds. He was also the World Best Player for 2006/07.
