The tailor, after noticing suspicious behaviour, persuaded the suspect to pose for photos before publicly confronting him about the theft.
The situation quickly escalated as bystanders intervened, assaulting the accused while the stolen clothes reportedly fell off during the altercation.
The footage, shared on X by influencer Oyindamola, has reignited discussions about the growing incidence of shoplifting amid Nigeria’s economic hardships, including high inflation and unemployment.
