PHOTOS/VIDEO: Elderly man apprehended after stealing pants and bra

An elderly man was on Thursday apprehended in Lagos state, Nigeria allegedly with a bag filled with bras and pants he stole from where they were spread by their owners.

It was learnt that some residents, who saw the man while allegedly collecting the underwear, accosted him and demanded to know the content of the bag he was carrying.

According to reports, the elderly man whose name is yet to be ascertained, threatened to deal with the people for insulting him, but unmoved by his threat, some youths forced the man to open the bag.

“We were upstairs and all of a sudden, one of us, Tunde, saw a man picking up bras, pants and some clothes that were spread outside. When he was done, he looked in different directions to ensure that nobody saw him. As he began walking away with those items, we came down and alerted other residents, who stopped him.

Rather than being remorseful, the man began threatening that he would deal with us for insulting him. When the people asked him to open the bag he was carrying, he bragged that he was going to beat them up. But when the people forced him to open the bag, they were surprised to see bras, pants and clothes in the bag.” an eyewitness said
