No law was broken here. The thief broke into his home and put him at risk, he responded by defending himself.

How was he to know the thief did not have a gun or any other weapon?

henrydadon:
they should also stitch the bone abi..

1stCitizen:
This is wickedness. The guy cannot claim this was done to prevent his phone from being stolen but simply to cause bodily harm.It was not even done in self defense as there was a protector in between them. He could have just grabbed the hand or used a stick on it. Very sad!!!!!

In the UK, he could get up to 7 years imprisonment for this and the thief could also sue his as.s

AnanseK:
Where those big big SAN lawyers wey sabi to defend executive thieves. Go tell the judge say de boy no be thief ,na charge he wan charge de phone.

rottennaija:
They should tried stitching the hand back now

Nasiruddeen:
Biblical shari'ah law of cutting off hand of a thief is applied to a boy trying to steal phone in Delta state.

Deuteronomy 25:11 ESV
“When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.

These were the biblical verses used to carry out the cutting:

Matthew 18:8 ESV
And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

Matthew 5:29 ESV
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

GAZZUZZ:
you have relations who stick their hands through people's windows?
If it were my relation I would be ashamed

okoro4:
No matter the man went an extra mile

jmichlins:
I know what he did was wrong but being an adult there are better ways to handle some issues. The man is a beast

mctowel01:
To those against the man for cutting the hand. May you never be ronbed of something very valuable to you. And worse is when the robber self will be consoling you.

Trouble maker

Almajiri1: The house owner out of fear over reacted. You can gauge the amount of power he applied to cut clean the hand. If sticking ones hands through a window can warrant this from the house owner, it means he has a lot of repressed issues that might need psychologist to fine tune. What if the thief was a friend or family member trying to play pranks on him?

When I was in Nigeria, I saw and noticed that over 80% percent of people walking her streets are no longer human beings. I did the little I was able to do teach with examples how humans should be different from animals. some learn and turn a new leaf while some don see mugu and try to take advantage. I'm no better human than them but, Nigeria is sitting on a gun powder and any trigger to this would be catastrophic! Too many problems plague Nigeria and nigerians simultaneously yet nobody is talking.

ademega:
look at the window itself.... a poor man is an angry man seriously

kennycanny:
weather the thief is a minor or not. It only takes a heartless human being to cut off another fellow hand because he was trying to steal a phone over the window.

A lighter punishment that will not cause this kind of permanent body damage is enough.

OgaTheTop2:
When do we start cutting our thieving polithievians'' hands? They deserve this type of punishment.

mctowel01:
My brother, please don't say this. That boy deserves it as well as other heartless thieves. Phone thieves are the worst form of thieves existing cos they know that the phone is more valuable than the price to the owner. There will be documents, pictures contacts, and all in the phone, yet they have no iota of pity when wiping it all off. From my experience, i fully endorse such traleatment to heartless thieves

Sexyolori:
Cutting his hand was very unnecessary. This can never be seen as self defense because whatever force used in self defense must equate the initial attack in this case he wasn't armed, he should have simply struck him...Only in Delta sha
