The mystery thief, who had visited the boutique in the company of another man, who was at the boutique to buy clothes for himself, picked a material from the shelf and hid it in his clothes unnoticed.
Journalist George Odok, who shared the footage on social media on Sunday, October 9, said anyone with useful information to nab the man should reach out.
“Anyone who can identify the suspect should please reach out to the owner of the boutique located along MCC road, close to Triangle joint, Calabar. The question is this: how much is that material? The guy has just embarrassed himself publicly. It’s a shame,” he captioned the video.
