COURT SENTENCED MAN TO CORPORAL PUNISHMENT FOR STEALING A LADDER

A 29 years old man identified as Ibrahim Yunisa has been sentence to receive 10 strokes of the cane for stealing a ladder on the 12th of this month in a remote village of abuja.

Ibrahim Yunesa is reported to have stolen a ladder from a building undergoing construction a week ago in Dape village, Abuja and tried to run when he was asked how he got in position with the iron ladder but was apprehended by few youths.

He was handed over to the Karmo police division and Mr Ibrahim was arraigned before the Karmo grade one area court, Abuja on Friday the 20th of October.

A count of theft as against section 288 of the penal was read before the suspect and he admitted being guilty but pleaded for mercies.

Delivery the judgment Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq who is the judge in charge of Karmo grade one area court found Ibrahim Yunesa guilty of theft and ordered he should be given 10 good strokes of the cane. The judge said the lite weight of the punishment is because Ibrahim had pleaded for mercies but warn that he should desist from such acts as the court "won't smile" on him next time.

The strokes was described by Victor Otuwe who reside in abuja as "anti theft lashes". Victor applaud the judge for his leniency and thank the youths for doing the right thing by handing Ibrahim over to the police and pray such lawful practice should be emulated to reduce jungle justice as it would have been so sad to hear a man was burnt alive for stealing a ladder. 

Ibrahim had confess he wanted to sale the ladder to raise money for his upkeep  as job was not forth coming. 

The caning was later done openly with crowd counting the strokes well administered that got Ibrahim screaming never to steal again. It is a thing of shame by the Culture of Nigeria to be canned in such way.
