Photos have shown the moment a 400 level student of the Bayero University, Kano, was caught red-handed, while trying to steal from his colleagues, over the weekend.
Local reports show that the suspect was identified only as Michael.
The young man, whom many had been suspecting of being responsible for their missing valuables, was nabbed while trying to break into a room in the absence of his colleagues.
He was severely dealt with before being rescued by security operatives.
Below is another photo of him.
There are no reports of police officers being invited to arrest the young man.
