In a tragic occurrence, a very young man, found himself in a hazardous and humiliating situation, getting stuck while trying to flee the scene of a crime committed at a church.

The young man allegedly attempted to steal money from a church.

The incident went viral after being shared online, showing the suspect who was trapped in the church window, crying out for help as Spectators gathered to witness the unusual spectacle.

According to eyewitnesses, OPEN TELEVISION Naija reports that the man sneaed into the church intending to steal money. After completing his mission, he tried to escape through a window but got his arms hopelessly caught in the burglary bars. 

Footage of the incident reveals the man’s desperate pleas for assistance, which drew mixed reactions from onlookers and social media users alike. 

One Observer suggested, “Tickle him, let him dance a little; heaven knows this is what I would do if I were there.” 

From another comment, “The wrong place to come and steal. What God cannot do does not exist,” meaning that the divine intervention might have played a role in the thief’s difficult situation. 

Following the moral and spiritual dimensions of the incident, "Whatever you do in life, avoid God’s wrath," stating it's obviously obvious that the thief’s tragedy was direct consequence from God as a result of his actions. 

OPEN TELEVISION Naija further reports that, Billy Diamond7 also provid additional comment, stating that, "He has been there for over a day because the church is located where people don’t live nearby, so no one has been around to help him. He’s begging to be let out so he can eat, as he says he is hungry." 

Despite the viral nature of the video spread on social media, it remains ambiguous whether the man succeeded in stealing any money from the church before his ill-fated escape attempt or not. 

The incident has sparked widespread discussion about crime, justice, and divine retribution, with many seeing it as a cautionary tale about the perils of theft and categorising it as the potential consequences of one’s actions.

The authorities have yet to release an official statement on the issue, as OPEN TELEVISION Naija revealed that it is still unknown if the young man will face allegations or probably if there is any church properties stolen.
