Why did they not arrest the likes of Ibori, Peter Odili, Lucky Igbinedion, Bola Tinubu & a host of others & parade them on TV. Although I do not encourage violence in any way , more so being one person that fundamentally opposes armed robbery, this young man's sin should rather be blamed on Nigeria's corrupt leaders who are increasingly making life unbearable for the common man by stealing from the public till which in turn redounds on the entire citizenry. Had this young man gotten a job on graduation, he probably wouldn't have pitched tents with robbery. The presiding judge before whom he would be standing trial , if ever , ought to take this into consideration while deciding his case.
