NIGERIA Nigerian man received painful whipping as a punishment. Even begging for mercy did not help him. It is not entirely clear what the man had done. In Nigeria, however, such physical punishments are usually given to thieves.
Although such punishments may sometimes seem like a quick form of justice, in reality they represent a gross violation of human rights. Even a thief has the right to a fair trial and punishment according to the law. In such situations, always call the police to the scene.
