Good your devilish mind has sent you to jail
Yeye man stealing in the house of the Lord blaming it on the devil.
I NEVER knew that a Nigeria’s court other than sharia court would be talking about flogging a convict. Is this not barbaric? Are we gradually adopting sharia ideologies into our constitution?
congratulation on your new awarded term in jail… enjoy your stay
Justice got served.
Dare try stealing from a mosque as a christian and you won’t live to tell the story.
useless man
Stealing in the house of God! God forbid
