Two young men have been apprehended after being caught stealing wooden boards from a cemetery in what appears to be an attempt to sell them as scrap metal.
The individuals were punished for their actions before being paraded with the stolen items.
A video of the two men was posted on X.
See some reactions below:
@ThemGoTalk1: “Imagine stealing from the dead and still not securing the bag. Even the ancestors are shaking their heads.”
@KSnetne: “Graveyard shift gone wrong! Stealing metal from graves? Even ghosts wouldn’t sign off on that hustle. Hope the beatings came with a free lesson in respect for the dead, and better career choices.’
@Emmanue48407309: “THIS IS AWFUL & DISGUSTING! How dare they even think about doing this to the dead? It’s a taboo to desecrate graves in our society. Absolutely no respect to the memory of the dead. They should be given some serious jail sentences!”
@GideonAmeyow: “These scrap dealers them dey worry pass.”
@Lucifers_Cousin: “they crossed the line chale.. they should be dealt with severely!”
