An Abuja Grade 2 Area Court in Kado on Wednesday sentenced a 28-year-old man, Isah Abdullahi, to four months in prison with hard labor for stealing seven pairs of shoes from a mosque after the convict pleaded guilty to the one-count charge.

The presiding officer, Mr Ahmed Ado, said that Abdullahi was a heartless man, having stolen from a mosque.He said that if anyone could go to a church or mosque to steal, it meant that the person was heartless and could do worst things anywhere.

What would make a make go steal shoes from a mosque? The only answer I could come up with is - exremely hunger.

I wonder why we are quick to jail petty thieves but the 'politrickians' that embezzle millions are often let off the hook.

Lol.. Funny!

Na curse?

The shoes and slippers i do see in mosque entrance aren't that correct ones!

Nigerians don't regard even a place of prayer, someone can penetrate a place of worship in disguise and be praying and robbing concurrently.

That's why I think it's extreme poverty that will make a man decide to to steal shoes at a mosque

I don't think it's just Nigerians, it's just people generally. If you hear what goes on in some other countries, you go fear fear.

I pity the man.

Olugbenger: I pity the man.

Same here

Brimmie: Lol.. Funny!

It's a pitiful situation. What would make a man do steal flip flops in a mosque?

It is in his family's bloodline to steal. Make him a senator tomorrow and he starts embezzling state funds.

A lot of people who probably are poorer than him are working very hard to make ends meet but he is thinking of the shortest possible means to "arrive".

Got your point. You are saying there are no excuses for stealing at any level.
