Stealing is a crime.... They're many ways to handle tight situation rather than stealing. If she had slept with men to fetch herself some money, it'd be more honorary.

Where is our humanity
Humanity needs to come before we apply the law.
There so many people prison for no reason.
There are so many case that can be treated with love and cares.
Most of the criminals today are victims of false accusation and later ends in prison

A goat costing ₦45K should be a very beautiful goat with Mary Kay makeup and Italian heel shoes
