Bandits in Katsina State have ‘arrested’ a thief found with stolen items in a village.
The scavenger reportedly specialized in pulling out metal rods and removing iron bars from deserted buildings.
The bandits gave account of how they caught the suspect while on a ‘patrol’ of the area on their motorcycles in a video obtained by PRNigeria.
The terrorists, while parading the middle-age man and his loot packed inside a cart before a community leader in the video told the thief the dangers of stealing.
“Don’t you know that it is an offence to steal? You’re lucky we are handing you over to the authority.
“We could have executed you for engaging in a criminal activity”, they added.
The terrorists handed over the accused to a community leader and urged him to ensure he is punished.
They also reportedly followed the chief and witnessed the transfer of the suspect to security personnel.
