Please Stop Jungle Justice In Nigeria, It's inhuman and Evil

The Issue

Jungle justice is the concept and act of disregarding the rule of law and taking matters into one's hands; more clearly put, it is the act of handing suspected criminals over to the hands and mercy of an angry mob.

We have lost our Norms and Values, our right to love and now engaged in all form of atrocities, all because we want to serve justice in our hands, but the big questions are

Are We Doing the Right Thing?

will it ever stop robbery activities in Nigeria?

Are we killing the right people?

 

1. ALUU 4 BOYS (2012): Of Course, We still all remember these four young Students of Uniport (University of port Harcourt) who were battered and burnt alive. The gory video footage spread on YouTube like wildfire,even a policeman was caught hitting them with the butt of the gun,he was later apprehended alongside others who engaged in the act. This incident went viral in the nation and the parents of the deceased are Yet to find justice.

2. LYNCHING OF KID IN KADUNA (2012): This happened just weeks after the ALUU boys incident and this time it was just a 12-year-old who was accused of kidnapping a pupil. He was beaten and burnt alive in Kaduna

3. FEMALE THIEF BEATEN TO PULP (2014): A certain female was stripped naked and beaten because she stole a phone. The pretty woman was caught with a stolen phone and she was sexually manhandled and beaten to pulp by an angry mob.

4. LYNCHING OF MAN IN FESTAC (2016): Two suspected thieves were caught for trying a steal a parked motorcycle about 2 weeks ago in Festac unfortunately one of them got away and the other was beaten to pulp by angry residents.

5. Two suspected robbers burnt to death in Onitsha: An angry mob in Onitsha, Anambra State, took the laws into their hands and burnt down two armed robbers in an unprecedented jungle justice.

6. 'Okada' thief burnt to death in Imo: A young man who allegedly stole a motorcycle was burnt to death in another case of jungle justice.

7. Mob sets 2 robbers ablaze at Limca Road in Anambra: Barely two weeks after a mob set ablaze two armed robbers at New Tyres Market, Nkpor, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, for snatching huge sums of money from a trader, two other armed robbers were, yesterday, burnt to ashes along Limca Road in the same area.

Just 2 day ago, Another Phone Thief was Beaten and still Burnt alive, and so so many others.

They are all Human and deserves Justice before any form of Punishment strictly for the Authorities.

We are calling on Nigerian Groups, Human right activist, Nigeria Bar Association, House of Representatives, House of Assembly, and Others to join hands and Say No to Jungle Justice. THIS IS EVIL. Everybody deserves Equal Judgement!!!!
