Man Who Stole Generator Nabbed After Returning To Same Restaurant To Eat

A man who stole a generator worth ₦1 million from a popular gym-restaurant in Agu Awka got the shock of his life when he was arrested mid-meal—after returning to the same spot days later to eat and chill. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to viral posts shared by @mr_cjayerus on X (formerly Twitter), the man initially visited the establishment—Candles Gym & Restaurant—pretending to be interested in a fitness membership.

But what he was really working on? A perfect crime.

The suspect allegedly came in early in the morning, looked around under the guise of gym inquiries, and left without suspicion. Hours later, he returned with accomplices and a Keke (commercial tricycle), and together, they lifted the generator and vanished.

What he didn’t know was that the gym had full CCTV coverage, and his face was clearly captured while executing the operation.

Days later, with boldness only seen in Nollywood scripts, the same man returned to the restaurant, sat down comfortably, and ordered a meal—unaware that his face was already circulating.

As he chewed away in peace, police arrived, surrounded him, and arrested him on the spot, while stunned staff and diners looked on.
