Man Caught Stealing Clothes in Local Laundry: Neighbors Warn of Rising Theft
A man was caught attempting to steal two clothes from a laundry when no one was at the reception.
Neighbours apprehended him as he tried to hide the clothes in a bag of stolen items.
During questioning, the man’s story kept changing. At first, he claimed to be a tailor, then said he was unemployed, and later claimed he was an okada rider.
After being beaten by some residents, he finally confessed to having been a patient at a psychiatric hospital.
During the search, neighbours found a purse filled with money and a faceless ID card in his pocket, raising further suspicion about his activities in the area.
His inconsistent testimony was dismissed by the neighbours, who stated they had seen him wandering the area for days, despite his claim that it was his first time there.
The community is advising residents to stay vigilant as thefts have been occurring in broad daylight, and the neighbourhood has been a long-standing target for such crimes.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
