A man who claimed he was driven by hunger has found himself in hot water after he was caught stealing a chicken in a local community.
The suspect, whose name was not immediately given, was nabbed by the owner while attempting to make away with the chicken.
The incident happened on Tuesday in a small village where locals rely heavily on livestock for their daily needs.
According to eyewitnesses, the thief was forced by the angry owner to eat the stolen chicken right there at the scene.
Some community members said the punishment was meant to teach him a lesson and deter others from stealing.
An eyewitness, Amaka Johnson, said: “The man kept begging, saying he was hungry at home and had no food to eat. But the owner insisted he must eat what he stole as punishment.”
The matter has since become the talk of the village, sparking debates about poverty, crime, and how best to handle petty thieves. While some people supported the owner’s action, others said the punishment was too harsh.
The local chief has promised to look into the matter to prevent a repeat of such incidents.
