man identified as Chukwuma Okoro has confessed to going into robbery so he could pay his wife’s bride price.



He made the confession while being paraded by the Police in Akure, the Ondo state capital on Wednesday.

Okoro, who was paraded with three other men, was arrested after he attacked a salesgirl, who was about making a deposit in a bank of over N500,000 in Akure.

According to reports, he traced the girl with an Okada (a motorcycle) before attacking her but was later arrested by sympathisers.

Okoro said his bid to satisfy his wife by paying the N300,000 her family demanded for as bride price lured him into the crime.

The vegetable seller further said his wife ran away from the house due to his inability to pay the money.

“It is my wife that pushed me into it. I have never stolen in my life. She ran away from my house since three weeks ago and has been begging to come back,” the suspect said.

“So I started looking for money to pay her bride price before she comes back. There is no way I can get N300,000; that is why I tried to rob.”

According to the Police Command’s spokesman, Femi Joseph, the robbery suspect, who was found with a pistol, will be charged to court soon.

Wonders shall never end

Vegetable seller
Asked to pay 300k as bride price
The bride's family and their ancestors must be mad asking a vegetable seller to pay that kind of money. Does he even make up to that in a year? Later they will say they're not selling their daughter. Even slaves do not cost as much back then.
If you wan sell your daughter, put her for OLX. WTF!!!

Yeye man, Is she the only woman in the whole world, why not go to other state and marry if you can't afford the ones in your state, when those gay inmates enter your anus finish you go know Jesus is Lord.
