I hope they are going to eat him after burning.

Very backward sets of lots

No wonder the country is on the reverse mode despite the number of churches and mosque on every street.

Demonic people who just happen to be religious fanatics.

What proof did you have General Buhari stole a dime, or Asiwaju Tinubu Jagaban did anything wrong so as not to enjoy their life, unlike Saraki that I can bring out several instances of prosecuted corruption with evidence

embarassed embarassed On one hand I feel sorry that a life is lost because of a motorcycle but at the same time I can't help but feel what the burnt thief would have done to someone he planned to rob of his motorcycle and he refused, it would have been another tale of murder. If the people had trust in their justice system this issue of sacrificing thieves as burnt offering wouldn't have existed. A failed zoo will always remain one.

Did you read where it was stated that the robbers shot the bike owner? I don't support jungle justice though but this robbers are heartless, they don't care if you are the breadwinner of your family. May you never encounter them.
