Our beat supervisor reported of a theft of two LNG cylinders from one of the estates Samtina Security Guards cover, and it infuriated me because not quite long the company have invested more than N500,000 in that beat on tech-support. I immediately called the manager to play all the history of that beat in the last 48 hours and identify the culprit.
It was not up to 2 hours; they called to confirm that they have the thief. We drove straight to the estate. On getting there, I asked the supervisor to interrogate the thief on record even as most of us brought out our cameras to record. As soon as he finished explaining how it happened, I asked him, is it good to cause a lot of people to suffer while you solve your own personal challenge? And he said no, it is not good.
I immediately collected a jack knife from the supervisor, cut off the guy’s right thumb and dropped a bundle of N500 notes (which is N50,000) for them to take him to the nearest chemist shop to stop the bleeding and forgive him as well. Everyone has a personal need. However, for every action there is equal and or opposite reaction, he would never forget how smart thoughts are as good as real because no matter what lies he tells his parents, girlfriends or children about what happen to his major finger - the right thumb, he would not deny that it was as a result of a perfect seamless thought.
Thanks
