There was a mild drama in Katsina State, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, as a group of armed bandits arrested a thief when the terrorists were on a patrol.
According to PRNigeria, a middle-aged man specializes in uprooting metal rods and removing iron bars, from deserted buildings in a deserted village in the state.
The criminal scavenger was caught by the bandits while they were on a ‘patrol’ on their motorcycles, PR Nigeria reports.
An exclusive video obtained by an online newspaper showed the bandit-terrorists parading the scavenger and his stolen metal rods inside a cart before a community leader.
Though the date of the incident could not be confirmed from the video where the bandits warned the thief about the danger of stealing.
“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.
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.
It was gathered that the terrorists did not only hand over their ‘catch’ to the Katsina community chief but also ensured he was later whisked away by security personnel for interrogation.
