Suspected Chicken Thief Tied To Streetlight, Publicly Shamed In Ibadan
A suspected petty thief was reportedly caught after allegedly stealing chickens in the Sango area of Ibadan on Saturday.
According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect was tied to a streetlight by residents, with the allegedly stolen chickens hung around his neck in what appeared to be a form of public humiliation. The incident attracted a crowd, with many onlookers gathering at the scene.
As of the time of this report, it was unclear whether the suspect was later handed over to the police, and authorities had not issued an official statement regarding the incident.
Public shaming and mob punishment remain unlawful, as security agencies have repeatedly urged residents to hand over suspects to the police for investigation and prosecution through the legal process.
