A man allegedly caught stealing garri from a market stall was reportedly given an unusual punishment by members of the community instead of being handed over to the authorities.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect was forced to eat a large bowl of soaked garri mixed with beans as a form of public punishment. He was allegedly warned that refusing to finish the meal would lead to further consequences.
A video of the incident has since surfaced online, sparking mixed reactions among social media users. While some described the punishment as a humorous alternative to physical violence, others argued that suspected offenders should be handed over to law enforcement to face due legal process rather than being subjected to public humiliation.
