Man Caught Stealing Avocados in Meru Forced to Eat Unripe Fruits (VIDEO)

A man suspected of stealing avocados from a farm in Meru County was allegedly forced by angry residents to eat the unripe fruits after he was caught.

In a video that has been shared widely on social media, the man is seen surrounded by a crowd while eating the raw avocados. Residents who gathered at the scene reportedly ordered him to finish the fruits as punishment.

The suspect appeared uncomfortable as he struggled to chew the bitter avocados while asking for forgiveness. However, the crowd continued watching as he ate.

At some point, some people in the crowd gave him water to help him swallow the unripe fruits.

The incident has caused mixed reactions online, with some Kenyans saying the punishment was better than mob justice, while others felt the matter should have been reported to the police.

The video continues to circulate on different social media platforms.
