According to an eyewitness who spoke to Vanguard,, the man and his gang were said to have jumped the fence, destroyed the burglary proof in one of the windows through which they entered the house.
Luck ran out on them when woman in the house, on sighting the intruders, sent a message to her neighbour, who in turn alerted other members of the community.
Noticing that they were surrounded, the thieves jumped out through the fence and ran into a nearby bush.
He was nearly lynched but for the response of a team of policemen from Ijede Division, who took him away.
