A suspected thief has been found fast asleep in a mosque he went to rob in Kebbi State.
The suspect, identified as Hamza Usman, 31, from Maidahini village, was reportedly found with multiple hand sets in the early hours of Friday, July 30, at Bayan Kara, Birnin Kebbi.
According to Yakubu Ahmed Bk, the suspect who claimed that he was in the company of two others (now at large) confessed that they have been stealing phones at night in houses when owners had gone to bed.
“He went into a mosque at night after scaling walls of some houses and stealing phones and was about stealing gadgets when he suddenly fell asleep. He was arrested when worshippers began trooping in for early morning prayers. He has since been handed over to police authorities,” Yakubu wrote.
