"While they are trying to trace the person, they saw you, Ibrahim Isiaka 'M' cutting the armour wire and immediately you sighted them, you started running away and hit your head on a satellite dish and fell down before you were finally apprehended and handed over to the police for discrete investigation," FIR read.
