A man was caught stealing cables from a shop at Bakky Plaza, Lekki, after he allegedly entered the premises while the shop owner was asleep.Entertainment center
According to the report, the shop owner was alone upstairs at the time, while his staff were downstairs working on a new showroom within the plaza. The owner reportedly forgot to lock the shop door from inside, as he usually does when alone, and dozed off while holding his phone.
The suspect allegedly took advantage of the situation and quietly entered the shop. He was later spotted holding electrical cables when the owner woke up. Alarmed, the owner immediately blocked the exit and contacted someone for help.
When confronted, the man initially claimed that workers from the new showroom had sent him to collect the cables. However, suspicion arose after it was noticed that he had removed his slippers outside and entered the shop stealthily.
Further questioning reportedly revealed that the suspect had already taken some cables earlier, hid them outside the shop, and returned to steal more before being caught.
