Thief forced to demonstrate how he broke into apartment after damaging aluminum window

A thief who broke into an apartment by damaging an aluminum window was forced to act out how he carried out the crime.

This was contained in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @ChuksEricE.

The video shows the suspect clinging to the window of the house as residents gathered around, compelling him to demonstrate step by step how he executed the break-in.

In the clip, he could be heard crying and stuttering as he attempted to explain, using a tool in his hand to illustrate how he removed parts of the building fixture.

As the post spread online, concerned Nigerians trooped to the comment section to share their thoughts and reactions.

See some reactions below:

@VivianRora: “Why are they dehumanizing him? 😆 people on X said we shouldn’t dehumanize.”

@_THE_CRAFT3R_: “Being a thief in Nigeria, in this era has to be the deadliest job on planet earth. People are ready to inflict untold pain on a thief, due to the anger from bad leadership and the harsh economy.”

@StackedSam: “Some of them shouting are actually learning from him.”

@Honormeh_aganga: “Is this pure wickedness in the hearts of some Nigerians, or just the fallout of a failed government? Because why would anyone destroy another person’s property?”

@Amaogudu: “After he will come on Facebook and X to abuse people for criticizing Tinubu’s government. He will tell us everything has become better and only the opposition are unhappy with APC leadership.”

@Brotherchibyk: “People are very wicked. Jobs is everywhere, why can’t you go out there and look for local job and work for money.”
