A Nigerian carpenter has been apprehended after he was reportedly caught stealing abroad.
It was alleged that he stole $300 on his first day at work and $100 on the second day.
This was revealed in a post circulating on a popular social media platform.
The video was accompanied by a lengthy statement that further explained the incident:
“My only weakness is trusting people too much, because how else would I leave a stranger to work in my room unsupervised?”
“When I realized he had stolen $300, I decided not to call him immediately. Instead, I called him the next morning and asked him to come and complete the repair job he was initially contracted for. I needed hard evidence, so I left the money at the same spot. This man foolishly came back.”
“I let him complete his job, and while he moved to the kitchen to finish up there, I went to check on the money. As I suspected, he had taken another $100 bill. We caught him trying to put it in his pocket, and the rest is history.”
The incident attracted the attention of many social media users, who stormed the comments section of the post to share their thoughts.
