In a bizarre turn of events, a would-be robber found himself in a sticky situation early this morning in Delta State.
The incident took place in the residential area of Asaba, where the homeowner awoke to find a man entangled in the electric fence surrounding his property.
The suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, attempted to scale the fence late last night.
Unbeknownst to him, the fence was equipped with a high-voltage electric deterrent, which promptly immobilized him upon contact. Unable to free himself, the robber spent the entire night suspended on the fence.
At dawn, the homeowner, Dr. Chuks, was alerted by unusual noises coming from his perimeter. Upon investigation, he discovered the trapped intruder and immediately contacted the local police.
Officers arrived swiftly at the scene, safely deactivating the electric fence before detaining the suspect. According to the police report, the man sustained minor injuries but was otherwise unharmed.
He was taken into custody and is currently undergoing further interrogation at the Asaba Police Station.
The police have commended Dr. Chuks for his prompt response and urged residents to remain vigilant. Further details on the suspect’s identity and possible accomplices are expected as the investigation continues.
