Omg! You Won’t Believe What Happened To This Man Who Stole 7 Tubers Of Yam

A man who stole tubers of yam has received a
most unexpected kind of punishment he could
have imagined.
A Gudu Upper Area Court in Abuja on Wednesday
sentenced one Yusuf Salisu to three strokes of the
cane for stealing seven tubers of yam.
The judge, Alhaji Umar Kagarko, who gave the
sentence, warned the convict to desist from further
involvment in criminal activities following his guilty
plea.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Mr A.O Urom, told the court
that one Harisu Galadima reported the matter at
Garki Police Station on Dec. 14.
Urom alleged that the convict went to the
complainant’s house and stole seven tubers of yam.
“The tubers of yam were valued at N3, 500. During
police investigations, six tubers of yam were
recovered from him. He also admitted to the crime,’’
Urom told the court.
He said the offence contravened Section 287 of the
Penal Code.
The convict, however, begged for leniency and told
the court that he would not repeat the act.
