In an unprecedented move, a group of armed bandits have arrested and handed over to the police a man caught stealing in Katsina State.
It was gathered that the suspect, a middle-aged man, allegedly specializes in uprooting metal rods and removing iron bars, from deserted buildings at a deserted village in the state.
PRNigeria reports that he was caught by the bandits while they were on a patrol on their motorcycles.
“Don’t you know that it is a criminal offence to steal? You are lucky that we are handing you over to authority we could have executed you for engaging in criminal activities,” the bandits warned.
According to the report, the terrorists, who in the video wielded sophisticated guns, told the community leader to ensure the ‘scavenger thief’ is dealt with according to the law to deter others from stealing.
