(Video) Thief forced to eat pepper and hot water as punishment
A video circulating on social media has captured a thief being punished in an unusual manner by being forced to eat raw pepper and drink hot water. The incident, which appears to have taken place in a French-speaking African nation, has drawn significant attention and diverse reactions online.
The video shows the thief seated on a chair with a bowl of raw peppers and hot water placed in front of him. Struggling visibly, the thief picks up the peppers, puts them in his mouth, and swallows them with difficulty, taking sips of hot water in between.
The punishment has sparked a mix of humor, concern, and debate among social media users.
“Wooo they are not Nigerians o… With the current price for pepper for market..?” one user commented, highlighting the irony of using a now-expensive commodity as a form of punishment. Another user added, “Enjoyment. Eating scarce commodity,” pointing out the current high market price of pepper.
Some viewers saw humor in the situation, comparing it to cultural practices. “Something Yoruba people can do without taking water,” one comment read. Another user reflected on the intensity of the punishment, stating, “Only the mouth will be pepperish after that the anus will not feel it,” and another noted, “Na only this guy don see pepper for Nigeria,” emphasizing the severity of the thief’s experience.
However, not all reactions were light-hearted. “This is barbaric and inhumane,” a viewer condemned the act, while another sympathized, saying, “I just Dey pity this guy.” The ethical implications of such a punishment were brought into question, with comments like, “This is the wrong thief. The politicians are the real criminals that deserve this kind of treatment,” highlighting the perceived misdirection of justice.
Interestingly, the video’s origin was also a topic of discussion. Observant viewers noted, “This happened in a French-speaking nation in Africa, cos this set of pepper is found in Burkina Faso and also the man counting is counting in French.”
Another user sarcastically remarked on the perceived luxury of the punishment, “Omo, na rich person food them give ham o. Currently, pepper na gold for market and gas self no be sheresher,” referencing the high cost of both pepper and gas.
The video continues to generate discussion about crime, justice, and the appropriate ways to handle petty criminals in communities.
