One Mr Martins Diclson from Okobe, Ahoada-West Local Government Area in Rivers State was lashed for stealing plantain. The incident happened in Bayelsa State.

According to a Facebook user who stated that Mr Martins is a specialist in stealing people’s plantain, said on Sunday, 3rd of October, he was caught in the act. The Facebook user also said that Martins was fined after being lashed. This, to them, was a better decision than handing him over to the police.

The Facebook user wrote:

That serves him right. Stealing is a crime.

Thief, just like Peter Obi

It's right in their jungle justice to kill or flog thieves but if it were in Sharia system it is backwardness. Hypocrisy at highest order!

May God punish those people that put us in this suffering in Nigeria, their children children will not know peace, common plantain....chai

Damn!!
Listening to authority stealing by fela as I walk out of this thread in anger and disgust

I hope he Grabs the 2nd chance with hardwork and retract from stealing....he may not be this lucky in some other communities.

Thunder fire you and your Sharia system
Sharia that accepts raping of minor in the name of your marriage, husband dehumanizing their wife through flogging

They are talking of system you are talking of nonsense, same system that can't even call babaringa dollar governor to order

Yet people like you will choose to go to Canada/USA rather than Pakistan, Afghanistan

Let me comment like Righteousness1.

The person who flogged him might be his mate or even younger than him.
This is how Satan who is supposed to be beneath us, oppress us when we allow ourselves to be tempted by sin.

Btw, that's a better judgement than handing him over to the police.

Ok

Plantain boy

Better than handing him over to police who willl later request for the plantains as exhibits which they will use to cook as boli and serve their pot-bellied DPO

When u see petty thieves, seek to rehabilitate them, it's hunger that pushes most of them to do these things...

The ones that need real flogging are the ones stealing our commonwealth and taxes in political offices. Those ones need mortar on their buttocks.

I love the fact that he was flogged in front of little children as he no get shame

Aboki sit down

When will we start doing this to our politicians too?

I feel pity for him.
This looks like hunger.


How I wish we could gather politicians that has plundered our common resources since 1960 and beat them.

I go knack Buhari 2 by 2 for head.

Plantain boy

lol

E no go good for laziness at all, how can a young and energetic young man like this be going after peoples item?

Serves him good

There is hunger in the land

Charity begins at home.

If he was let go or given to the police, the police will just collect bribe and free him. He will now be gingered to get more money by kidnapping, engaging in armed robbery and killing innocent people.

Any person guilty of stealing deserves to be mercilessly flogged.

Wetin those children dey do for back of camera
