Consider yourself lucky if you are reading this, you most likely not to have lived in a society with extreme judgements, sentences, and punishments. Back in the good old days if you did something wrong, for example stole a goat, chicken, Adultery, you were pretty much assured being handed a death sentence. In those days there was no hanging around on Death Row, contemplating the errors of your ways whilst waiting for some form of humane, painless death. Executions in the ancient history seems to be so barbaric and devices used were built with careful engineering to push the guilty to feel extreme and prolonged pain before death. The forms of execution listed below really are so barbaric that you might question your faith in human nature. Blowing from the gun. With the invention of the cannon came this wonderfully imaginative way of executing enemy combatants. The basic method was to tie the unfortunate victim to the barrel of a cannon and fire it.

The suspect was reported to have attempted to vandalise the Jos Electricity Distribution Company transformer located close to Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB in Otukpo.
Benue man electrocuted on a pole
Several people besieged the major highway in Otukpo area of Benue State to catch a glimpse of a young man identified as Inalegwu Major whose lifeless body dangled on a transformer.
The suspect was reported to have attempted to vandalise the Jos Electricity Distribution Company transformer located close to Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB in Otukpo.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect might have been electrocuted while trying to vandalise the transformer.
An eyewitness who simply identified himself as Sunny said the dangling body of the suspect was noticed around 5:00am on Saturday by a passerby who raised an alarm.
Sunny said, “It was around 5am this morning (Saturday) that a passerby raised the alarm of the lifeless body on a transformer, compelling several people to besiege the place to catch a glimpse of the suspect.
A resident of the area said that the victim who was known as a notorious cable vandal had succeeded in removing some cable parts before power was restored.
Confirming the incident, the Head, Corporate Communication of JED company, Dr Adakole Elijah, expressed shock that the victim could climb the transformer pole despite the tight security.
He said, “The truth is that the transformer is properly safeguarded, the transformer was mounted on a pole, so it beats my imagination that someone would climb that pole.
“That tells you it was deliberate, a clear case of vandalism. I’m sure he went with a very terrible motive and unfortunately, he has paid with his life.”
Efforts to get the Police Public Relations Officer, Catherine Anene, for her reaction were not successful as her phone rang out.
