A man caught stealing shoes outside a mosque in Mombasa was forced to eat raw pepper as punishment.
The middle-aged man confessed to stealing shoes and selling them at a throwaway price to one Felix who works at the Ferry and takes the shoes to Changamwe.
He pleaded with members of the public to let him go but they ordered him to finish all the pepper he had in his hands.
“Ukimaliza we enda…meza meza. Jisikilie tamu (Once you finish them you are free to leave. Make sure you swallow them…enjoy) said one member of the public.
He gnashed his teeth in anguish as he vowed to never steal again.
“Siibi tena mskiti wa Sakina…” he said.
