A farmer at Odighi village, Edo State, identified as Moses Erutuya, has been arrested for killing one Jonathan who stole his plantain. Moses said the deceased had been stealing from him since 2007. He said he killed Jonathan by hitting him with a stick.

His words, “I started the farm in 1998. In 2007, while waiting for the plantain to mature, somebody went there and stole 60 bunches. I complained and was told nobody will guard my farm for me. Since then, I have been monitoring the farm.

Luck ran against him this 2017 when he stole 35 bunches. I traced him to where he wanted to sell them. He said the plantain was not mine. He stole seven bunches from my farm. I asked him to go and show me where he got others.

On our way, he stopped. The wood he used to hold his bike, I took it and hit him on the head and he died. His family was looking for him. They came to me and I told them I left him to go but I later took them to where the body is. I want government to forgive me.”

According to TheNation, the State Police Commissioner, Haliru Gwandu, said the suspect would soon be charged to court.

Everybody don vex. The kparawu no get mercy and the owner no get church mind. Nawa for change.

Awesome piece!

The farmer is an innocent murderer.

Anyone who steals from a poor farmer deserves to die.

I'm sure he will be charged to court for manslaughter.
Just that he didn't do a neat job.
Very unprofessional!
A virgin murderer most likely.

Else, he would be pleading not guilty in court with an argument that he did it in self defense.


BTW Odighi village is always in the news for rape & murder cases in farms.

you should not have taken laws into your hands now
