Image used is for illustration purpose onlyA seven-year-old primary one student was apprehended after breaking into a house in Ibadan's Olomi neighborhood and stealing two phones and N4,000.
The boy also cooked rice, ate all of the meat in the pot, and drank the milk he found in the house, according to the Nigerian Tribune.
According to reports, the boy used a key to open the padlock and gain entry into the room of one of the wives, Mrs Adijat Fatai.
He was accused of breaking into the woman's wardrobe, rummaging through her clothes, and stealing N4,000 and two mobile phones.
The boy was apprehended last Thursday, June 23, and during questioning, he admitted to giving his grandmother N2,000 that he stole.
He also admitted to opening the front door with a cutlass, cooking rice twice, drinking milk, and returning to the house after handing over N2000 to his grandmother.
"Unfortunately for me, one of those living in the house met me there but I told a lie that it was a boy who came there to steal," the boy said.
"I have broken into four houses in the last two days before I was caught today (Thursday)." he added
Mrs Adijat Fatai, whose room was burgled by the suspect, claims he stole N4,000 rather than the N2000 he claimed.
The boy also went into the younger wife's room but found nothing to steal.
He was said to have gone to the kitchen, cooked rice in a kettle with camp gas, and ate all the meat in the pot.
Following the first meal, he reportedly drank the milk he also discovered and resumed cooking rice.
He was said to have left the phones with a woman in the neighborhood before fleeing the elderly woman's home, telling her he would return despite her question about how the phones came to be.
When he returned to his workplace, the rice he had set on fire had burned, but this did not stop him from eating the remainder.
He was said to be working on this when he heard footsteps and dashed to the backyard.
"He promised to bring the boy to us if he sees him. We became suspicious that he must know something about the house-breaking and stealing. We told him that we suspected him and would report him to the police. That was how he started confessing that he was the one who broke in."
Olusegun Idowu, the vigilante commandant of Oluyole Local Government, told Tribune that he and his men had been looking for the boy's father, Ahmed Rasheed, who was riding a commercial motorcycle.
When informed of his son's misdeed, Rasheed was said to have signed an undertaking to remove him from the community, as well as an agreement that the law would take its course if he refused to care for his son or returned to the community to steal again.
Meanwhile, the victims stated that they chose not to report him to the police because of his age, as well as because they did not want to waste money and time pursuing the case with the police.
