One perennial thieving lawyer at the Law Development Centre (LDC), on Monday, ran out of luck after he was caught, in an obtained and reviewed CCTV footage, stealing a handbag of one the female lecturers.
In a statement emailed to the class of 2017, a copy seen by Campus Bee, the LDC Academic Registrar, Everest Turyahikayo, implored the thieving student, whose identity is known after the CCTV review by security experts, to discretely return the stolen bag in exchange for immunity from any type of disciplinary action.
“This is to inform you that today a lecturer reported loss of her black bag stolen after the lecture on 20th Nov 2017 from the computer laboratory. A team of experts has this morning examined the CCTV footage in the library. The identity of the student who picked the bag has been obtained. The student is yet to handover the lost item to LDC administration,” the letter reads in part.
“This is to request the student who picked the small black bag to return it today by 4:30pm. The bag should be dropped at the Academic Registrar’s desk. In case you used the money in the bag, please return the bag and other contents.
I wish to give assurance that should you deliver the bag today within the indicated time, no adverse action will be taken against you,” Mr Turyahikayo concluded.
Well, any law student pursuing a career in any judicial jurisdiction knows that in principle ‘you go to the law with clean hands’- something the suspect perhaps forgot.
