A video has surfaced of a young boy tied with a rope and forced to clear a stinking gutter with his bare hands.
In the viral video shared by EDHUB, the young man, was tied with a rope around his waist and forced by residents to clear a stinking drain with his bare hands.
However, it is unclear what crime the young man may have committed.
In the video, a man’s voice was heard saying they should not beat him, he noted that they would have beaten him and killed him.
Meanwhile, some netizens have commented on the video saying, “ Street justice in full effect, crime unclear, but punishment includes community service on the spot. Ghanaian discipline with a twist!”.
“Community labor is good but at least get him gloves 🧤.. I dunno what he did but for humanity’s sake”, another stated.
Some others have criticised the resident for allowing the young boy to distil the drain with his bare hands, “Even if we wanna punish people, we should take into consideration their health”.
“Irrespective of this young man’s actions the punishment is uncalled for and must be condemned.. Indeed Africans (blacks) are our own enemies💔🫢”, another stated.
An X user stated, “Clearing the gutter is cool.…but using his bare hands di3333 them no force”.
Additionally, another comment read, “ In a country where 99% are very religious, see how wicked they are… Communal labor is a good punishment but with bare hands? If they really want to get the job done, throw him a shovel”.
“In as much as they are punishing him to do the right thing by cleaning they can also be arrested for letting him use his bare hands and putting his health at risk”, another added.
