The incident took place in the Ola Oba community, Sabo, Oyo State.
In the footage, the boy is seen skillfully scaling the wall of the house and entering through the roof, eventually landing inside one of the rooms.
He explained that he works with a partner—one person waits outside while he enters the house to steal items.
When questioned by adults, the boy was asked to lead them to his father. He replied that his father lives in Sabo but is currently at work and won’t be home until the evening.
