It was gathered that the scavenger, who is said to be a middle-aged man, specializes in uprooting metal rods and removing iron bars, from deserted buildings in a deserted village.

According to PRNigeria reports, the thief ran out of luck when he was caught by the bandits who were on a “patrol” on their motorcycles in the community.

A video obtained by the publication showed the bandit-terrorists parading the scavenger and his stolen metal rods inside a cart before a community leader in the state.

While being paraded, 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 the authorities; we could have executed for engaging in criminal activities,” they said.

The terrorists, who were wielding sophisticated guns, told the community leader to ensure the “scavenger thief” was dealt with according to the law to deter others from stealing.

The bandits handed over their suspect to the Katsina community chief and told him to also ensure that the suspect was handed over to the security agencies for further interrogation.

KanyiDaily had recently reported how bandits abducted several Muslim worshippers during Juma’at prayers at the central mosque in Zamfara State.
