A gang of five children aged between 12 and 14 have been caught at Idofin Elega, Abeokuta, Ogun State, for burglary.
The children allegedly scaled the gate into a shop in the community around 12am on Friday.
They reportedly carted away foodstuffs from the shop, but were caught by members of the Oodua People’s Congress in the area.
The kids were subsequently handed over to the police at the Adatan station.
A video clip of the incident was shared on Facebook by one Bola Alao-Ogbu on November 5.
While being questioned in Yoruba by residents, the children blamed their action on maltreatment and hunger.
None of them reportedly lived with their parents.
One Musa, who identified himself as the leader of the gang, said he fled from an Arabic school, where he lived, due to maltreatment.
He said his friend, Oloyede, brought the idea of the burglary.
Musa said, “Oloyede and I were passing by one day. He pointed at the shop and suggested that we should go at night to steal from the shop. Around 12am when people had slept, we entered the shop.
“My parents live in Ajegunle (a neighbouring community). They took me to an Arabic school in Isage. But my friend, Yinusa, and I were maltreated at the school and we fled. I have never had formal education.”
Oloyede said his mother was late and he lived with his paternal grandmother in the Itoku area of Ogun State.
Another kid, Yinusa, said he started living in the Arabic school after his mother died.
Another child, Tunde, stated that his father lived in Lagos, while his mother resided in Soyoye, Abeokuta.
He, however, said he lived with his grandmother.
