A young man from Nigeria was caught in Accra after he stole a phone belonging to an office in the Community. Instead of getting beaten to a pulp, the gentleman named Aliyu John was rather asked to clean a gutter and then fed afterward.
The 22-year-old also found a pretty lady who admired his stature and hard work & confessed her affection for him.
Aliyu was apprehended after stealing an officer’s phone and was almost beaten by people of the community until a respected personality and one other fellow stepped in and instead made the thief do community work.
Aliyu who said he hails from Ogun state in Nigeria was made to clean a gutter in the community as punishment for the crime he committed.
Aliyu, as seen in the video, was given protecting wear for” his feet and a shovel with which he removed packs of sand from the dirty gutter under strict supervision. When the young man was done, he was allowed to take his bath, given a new set of clothes to wear, and taken to the classiest restaurant where he was served a heavy meal to his satisfaction.
“You Ghana people are very good people. If it were a different community, they would have killed me. I won’t steal again,” he said in the footage shared on We Are Ga page on Facebook.
Finding a ‘girlfriend’ after going through the punishment and the little ‘enjoyment’, a pretty young lady who stood by watching the young man confessed she was already fond of him. The feeling, according to Aliyu, was mutual and the duo hugged affectionately afterward.
