A petty thief has landed in police detention when he tried to rob a policeman in Ojota Area of Lagos State.

The man, simply identified as Osha Ojota, attempted to pick the pocket of an undercover operative attached to the Rapid Response Squad. Unfortunately, it was the wrong pocket.

Announcing Osha Ojota’s arrest on its Twitter handle, @rrslagos767, the RRS said,

This lad just picked the pocket of an undercover RRS officer on surveillance duty around Alausa Ikeja. He was caught in the act and arrested. He will be spending the nite with us and we will make sure he’s well served ?before his transfer tomorrow.

JUST IMAGINE!
