Drama as Katsina bandits ‘arrest’ thief, hand him over to authority
In what can be described as kettle calling pot black, a group of armed bandits have ‘arrested’ a scavenger, who is allegedly into stealing, in Katsina State.
Katsina State is President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state.
PRNigeria gathered that the scavenger, a middle-aged man, specializes in uprooting metal rods and removing iron bars, from deserted buildings at a deserted village in the state.
The scavenger was caught by the bandits while they were on ‘patrol’ on their motorcycles, it was learnt.
An exclusive video obtained by PRNigeria showed the bandit-terrorists parading the scavenger and his stolen metal rods which were inside a cart before a community leader.
Though the date of the incident could not be confirmed from the video in which the bandits warned the thief about the dangers of stealing.
“Don’t you know that it is a criminal offence to steal? You are lucky that we are handing you over to the authority. We could have executed you for engaging in criminal activities,” the bandits warned the arrested scavenger.
The terrorists, who in the video wielded sophisticated guns, told the community leader to ensure that the ‘scavenger thief’ is dealt with according to the law to deter others from stealing.
PRNigeria gathered that the bandits 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.
