Nemesis caught up with a young boy in his twenties at the early hours of today, as he was trapped to death by a shelf while allegedly stealing from a shop in the Sabo, Area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The shop, located on Folafashina Street turned to a Mecca of some sort as people from different areas trooped in to catch a glimpse of the suspected shop breaker caught in the act.
The owner of the shop, who preferred anonymity said she was surprised when she opened her shop at about 8.00 am and saw some of her goods scattered.
"It was so shocking when I saw the head of a dead young man popping from outside on the wall of my shop. I screamed because I could not hold it and that drew the attention of passers by and others in the vicinity", she said
The shop owner who sells tailoring materials and accessories, explained that it was the third time that her shop would be broken into while her goods were carted away.
The suspected thief was said to have broken some part of the wall creating a hole at the back of the shop and was trapped by a shelf of wood while attempting to pass through it into the shop.
Some goods reported to have already been stolen by the thief was seen on the floor beside his corpse while the hole broken on the wall, where the corpse of the thief was found was seen at the back of the shop.
Officers of the Nigerian Police from the Ilupeju Division of Sabo Area, had a very hectic time controlling the crowd as they awaited the vehicle that would convey the corpse away.
