In what can be described as a kettle calling a pot black, a group of armed bandits have “arrested” a scavenger, who is into stealing, in Katsina State.
The criminal scavenger was caught by the bandits while they were on a “patrol” on their motorcycles, it was learnt.
PRNigeria gathered that the scavenger, a middle-aged man, specialises in uprooting metal rods and removing iron bars from deserted buildings at a deserted village in the state.
A video obtained exclusively by PRNigeria 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, the bandits warned the thief about the danger of stealing.
They warned: “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 for engaging in criminal activities.”
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.
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.
