Pictured above is a goat thief who was paraded through the streets of the town with the goat he stole around his neck, or face prison. The Court ordered the man to hang the stolen animal around his neck together with a placard with the inscription, “I am a goat thief” and parade through the principal streets of the town under police escort. A large number of people, comprising adults and children, followed him, hooting at him while he served his sentence.
During police interrogation, the young man named Agyekum also an ex-convict, admitted having stolen the animal with two others to sell in order to get his daily bread as he found it very difficult to make ends meet since he was released from prison recently. Agyekum pleaded with the judge to tamper justice with mercy, saying he would not commit such an offence again.
However, after studying Agyekum’s offences of conspiracy, unlawful entry, causing damage and stealing, the judge, Mr Brew ordered him to carry the goat around his neck together with the placard and parade up and down the principal streets of the town as his punishment.
