A suspected thief was caught and eventually arrested for stealing plantain from a farm in Bayelsa state.

There is no doubt that the current state of the Nigerian economy has been a source of worry for a lot of people.

This could be the reason why the young man pictured below resorted to stealing as a way out of his predicament.

The young man was caught stealing plantain from a farm in Sagbama Overside, Bayelsa state, recently. Luckily for him, he didn't end up as a victim of mob action, as the police whisked him away to 'safety'.
