A 39-year-old man identified as Fabian, has been
caught stealing.
The man from Taraku, a suburb of Gwer east local
government area of Benue State was on Friday caught
stealing yam from another man’s farm in Otada village,
Otukpo local government area of the state.
Daily Post reports that Fabian admitted committing the
crime and pleaded for forgiveness after he was
arrested by members of the Otukpo vigilantee.
He said he committed the crime because there was no
other way that his family could survive.
He claimed his family had nothing to eat for the past
two days as a result of his inability to find a job due to
the current economic crisis rocking the nation.
Members of his family came and resolved the issue
and he was allowed to go home.
