There was drama at a plaza on Plateau Club Road,
Jos, Plateau State as a 32-year-old suspected thief
got his head stuck between the bars of burglar-
proof in his attempt to escape with stolen items.
The suspect, Solomon Clement, had stolen 13 pairs
of shoes, three pieces of bed sheets, seven pieces
of suits and two blankets after he gained access
into the shop through the roof the previous night.
Clement had tried to escape through the window
but he landed into trouble after successfully forcing
his body out of the window but his head was
trapped between the burglar-proof bars.
He remained there until Wednesday morning as all
efforts he made to get his head out proved
abortive.
Passersby were said to have alerted the police
about the incident. He was consequently arrested,
while the stolen items were recovered.
An eyewitness, who simply identified himself as
Julius, said that Clement was freed after
a welder was employed to cut the bars.
“He was there for hours. We called the police from
the A Division who arrested him.”
Julius said out of pity, they got a welder to cut the
bars.
