A man accused of theft drew attention online after showing off his dance moves moments after he was caught.
In a video making the rounds on social media, the suspect is seen dancing and twerking while people around him cheer him on. At one point, he pours water from a bottle on his buttocks before continuing to dance, drawing comparisons with South African singer Tyla’s popular dance style.
The clip is part of a growing trend in Nigeria where some suspected thieves are asked to dance instead of facing immediate mob action. In many cases, music is played or bystanders sing while the suspect entertains the crowd.
The latest video has added to the trend, with many social media users reacting to the man’s energetic performance after his arrest.
