Hamidou was trying to steal
grilled panels that protected the tank in the residence when luck ran out of
him. He had succeeded in removing 5 panels, it was in the process of removing
the 6th one when it slipped from his hands and fell to the ground. The
security guards rushed to the spot and ordered Hamidou to ‘’freeze.’’ When he refused to obey the order, he was shot
on his left side.
Residents in the area testified
that it was not the first time Hamidou was engaging in acts of burglary. Many
people had complained about him before.
