That was not the first time such incident happened in Lagos. Last year, a young man was arrested and charged before Ogba Magistrates Court in Lagos for stealing female pants for sale for ritual purposes.
However, he was caught and he confessed that he had a client who buys such from him. In the same vein, the DPO, Agboju Division, CSP Chike Oti, arrested another suspect with female pants, which the suspect claimed he stole to sell to his client who needed it for money ritual. There are instances of pant theft in other areas such as Delta, Edo, Anambra, Abuja and other cities in Nigeria.
