In February 2024, I went out of the school hostel to get myself a plastic bucket I would use to fetch water from the tap.
The one I was using was broken before I returned back from class. As I was coming back from where I went to buy the plastic bucket it was around 10pm at night. Immediately I entered the school gate I started hearing people shouting from outside. I was confused and scared at the same time, because I just entered and it was not up to 5 minutes. I wanted to go outside to check what's going on, but the school securities started locking the gate to protect the students inside the school.
I forced myself out through the small gate entrance to check what's going on and to my surprise... They caught two thieves. Both of them were there been beaten and laying lifelessly inside gutter.
What really happened and how were they caught? It happened at the front of V.Ginis center opposite Yaba College of Technology, Lagos. A man was walking along the road while pressing his phone and those two thieves were on motorcycle. They snatched the phone from the man and he started shouting thief! thief! thief! Thank goodness the incident happened when the students were just done with lectures and coming out of the school.
The two thieves started running on their motorcycle, but as the students heard the shout of the man shouting thief! thief! thief! All of them started chasing the motorcycle. Two Nigerian Army were on there way to their barrack and heard the people shouting and chasing a motorcycle also got into action, and with their help the thieves were caught.
When they were interviewed, the one that ride the motorcycle said he was a motorcyclist and the man hired him to carry him somewhere. They took both of them to their barrack and returned phone to the owner.
My own Opinion on this matter is :
Why would the man be pressing phone on the road?
Why didn't the one that claimed to be a motorcyclist stopped when he noticed that the person he carried snatched a phone from someone instead of trying to ran away with him if truly he's not also a thief?
What's your own opinion on this?
