A suspected thief had an exhausting day after being caught stealing yams.
As punishment, he was tied to a rope, forced to carry the stolen yams in a head pan, and made to sell them at the market.
Eyewitnesses reported that the suspected thief was caught and made to carry the stolen yams in a head pan while tied to a rope.
He was then paraded around the market and forced to sell the yams, with orders to return the earnings to the rightful owner.
A video of the incident shows a man questioning the thief's actions, saying, Why did you have to steal the yam?
The unusual punishment has sparked varied reactions on social media:
KNUST ZADDY (@SolomonAbugah) believes that selling the yams is too lenient and suggests a harsher punishment: Selling isn’t anything difficult; he should be made to work on the yam farm.
????GOMEZ????(@ooomycota_) finds humor in the situation, mocking the thief by exaggerating the value of the stolen yams: He steal pona 80 million ????????????
GUYGUY????(@CobbyBillioN) empathizes with the thief, arguing that his actions were driven by hunger and comparing the situation to a biblical story: He was hungry, he only stole food items. They should free him. The disciples of Jesus stole corn and went scot-free.
ONMYWORD..(@kobbyreallex) criticizes the socio-economic conditions that may have led to the theft, blaming poor leadership for the high cost of food: If not for poor leadership, why would yam be so expensive like this?
These reactions highlight a range of perspectives, from calls for harsher punishment to empathy and social critique.
