A man has been apprehended
in Kano State after carting away wedding gifts worth ₦500,000.
The man whose name is yet
to be made public had served as the groom’s best man at the wedding event held
in the Gaida area of Kumbotso LGA of Kano State.
It was reported that the
suspect holds the keys to the couple’s apartment, hence it was easy for him to
commit the crime. He did this after a week of the wedding.
Confirming the incident,
the vigilante commander of Gaida, Shekarau Ali, told reporters that the
groom reported the case and the suspect have been immediately arrested.
Ali said: “The groom asked
for the return of the keys but he refused. When he saw that the couple had gone
out of the house, he opened the house and stole the wedding boxes (gifts) and
food items.”
He added that they are
investigating him and will subsequently hand him over to the police.
Meanwhile, the suspect has
confessed to the crime, blaming the devil for his shameless act. He considered
his actions a betrayal to his friend and pleaded for forgiveness.
However, the suspect
reportedly said he contributed to the wedding by spending more than N400,000 on
the groom.
