Nemesis has a way of catching up with the wrongdoers. That was the fate of a woman who was stripped naked last Thursday, January 27, 2005 at the Creek Road market who indulged in her usual pas-time. Luck ran out of this woman when she tried to steal a N1,0000 worth of achie (soup condiment) from the owner.
Nemesis has a way of catching up with the wrongdoers. That was the fate of a woman who was stripped naked last Thursday, January 27, 2005 at the Creek Road market who indulged in her usual pas-time. Luck ran out of this woman when she tried to steal a N1,0000 worth of achie (soup condiment) from the owner.
The young woman whose name could not be immediately ascertained had come to the St. Jude's part of the market to make some purchases. In the process of the transaction, she sneaked the item into her bag. Unknown to her, the owner saw the action but politely added the price in summing the whole purchase.
The "thief" woman argued over the total amount denying taking any extra item. The argument attracted the people around as the trader insisted that the woman's bag be searched. Instantly, the item was discovered inside the bag.
This discovery attracted the fury of the traders nearby who instantly descended on her, giving her a thorough beating and in that process tore off the clothes on her body, stripping her completely naked just like a new-born baby. She was saved by the timely appearance on the scene of a group of police officers on patrol in a pick-up van. According to some of the traders at the scene, the action will serve as deterrent to those persons with itchy fingers within the market.
