HUNGER Forces Man To Steal 12 Wraps Of Fufu, Pot Of Soup by Ahmadgani(m): 7:39am On Nov 17, 2016
A group of Local Vigilante group in
Igbogene Community in Yenagoa Local
Government Area of the state, arrested a
35 –year- old father of two, Kaduna
Enatimi, for allegedly ‘stealing’ a pot of
soup and over a dozen wraps of ‘fufu.’



According to the head of the Igbogene
Vigilante group, Chief MoneySweet Asomo,
the accused was arrested at about 2am on
Thursday, November 10, 2016, while
consuming some wraps of the stolen ‘fufu’
and soup in a local food shop in the area.


Chief Asomo said the accused person, an
indigene of Akassa community of Brass
LGA of the state, claimed that hunger
caused by the prevailing economic
hardship led him to steal the pot of soup
and the foodstuff ‘to be able to feed his
family.”



“We were on patrol at about 2am on
Thursday and when we got to the Timida
school area, we saw a man at a local food
joint eating ‘fufu’ from a pot of soup. The
food joint is owned by an Akwa Ibom
indegene simply called Madam Blessing.


“We questioned the culprit and he
confessed to have stolen a pot of soup,
some wraps of ‘fufu’ and half basin of garri
from Madam Blessing’s food joint. He
claimed it was the present economic
hardship that led him to commit the
humiliating act.”


It was gathered that the Paramount ruler
of the area, the Obenibe X1 of Epie
Kingdom, HRH Hope Green Adike,
intervened and asked the vigilante group to
parade Enatimi round the community with
the stolen items as a deterrent to others
and to release him, thereafter.”


The paramount ruler ordered his release
against the backdrop of the reason he
adduced for stealing the pot of soup and
wraps of ‘fufu,’ – the prevailing hunger
and hardship under the present
administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari.



After Enatimi was paraded round the com­
munity, he was forced to eat the stolen
items in the presence of the indigenes of
Igbogene community. He was later asked
to go home with remnants of the ‘fufu’ and
soup to feed the equally famished
members of his family.



The shop owner agreed that Enatimi should
be allowed to go home a free man, on the
basis that she has no money to report the
matter to the police.


The suspect who was forced to eat the
stolen food continuously complained that it
was hunger that drove him to commit the
act, pleading with members of the public
to tamper justice with mercy. He said he
had no food in the house to feed members
of his family.


Though the economic hardship is being felt
throughout the country, residents of
Bayelsa state, seem to be worst hit, as
statutory allocation from the federation
account, seems to be the major source of
revenue to the state.


And now that the allocation to the state
has dropped drastically (from N25b to
about N6b monthly) there is now unprece­
dented poverty in the state, and some
people have taken to committing various
crimes, some of them petty – to stay
afloat – not minding the legal implications.
