He was flogged with horsewhips aka koboko till his skin was totally peeled off. From that day, both young male soldiers and other civilians became afraid of her.
Now this Casanova told his friends that he could woo her and she would become his girlfriend. They told him that he can't and so they had a bet that if he eventually succeed, then they would give him N20000 but if he failed, he would then give them N30000.
He then dressed up and penetrated into the officers' quarters. Fortunately for him, the girl was sitting all alone reading a novel. She looked extremely beautiful!
The guy then went to her with swag but before he could say anything, some military police appeared with horsewhips and they asked him who he was and what he was doing there.
He became immediately confused. He knew that if he should say the truth, he stood the risk of becoming skinless as usual. And so he decided to lie. He said that he was hungry and he came to beg for money and food.
He was told that the officers men's was not a philanthropic organization neither a charity organization so anybody seen there would be treated as a thief.
And he asked them the type of punishment given to a thief.
They told him that they treat a thief in their own way.
He further asked what is the meaning of their own way.
They told him that their own way means an amputation of one foot.
And he told them that the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. He then told them that he actually cane to woo the commander's daughter.
Immediately, one of his ears became deaf with a loud slap.
And he shouted, "Is this slap the punishment or it is just a prelude to the real punishment which is "skinless"
They told him that due to the girl's beauty, the punishment has been amended to include punching of one eye and one ear before the final skinless.
And the guy said, "Please my God. Which is better? One ear, one eye and skin off or one leg off?
