A 25-year-old plumber Destiny Asuquo has been arrested by a Vigilante group in Rumuodara Community in Port Harcourt last week on Thursday after breaking into a store to steal biscuits, sausage rolls, and soft drink.
The man who hails from Akwa Ibom State blamed hunger for making him steal.
On interrogation, the suspect who said he is a plumber claimed he has not eaten for two days and has been hoping to get a job, but to no avail.
He claimed he was forced to break into the shop to eat something to save his life, having suffered a chronic attack of ulcer for two nights.
The suspect has been handed over to Okporo Police station in Rumuodara for investigation and prosecution.
