Jungle justice in Nigeria is a situation that needs to be addressed Now. Almost every day, there are cases of killing and abuse of alleged thieves or criminals. In a more recent event, a 12 year old Boy was beaten mercilessly by a mob after which they were burnt to death for allegedly trying to kidnap a child with N50. The pleas and cries fell on deaf ears.
The mob had condemned him to death without even seeking the intervention of Law Enforcement Agents.
This is one amongst the numerous cases of jungle-justice that happen and go unattended to in NIGERIA.
We the Undersigned call on the Government of the federal Republic of Nigeria and the Legislative arms of government to pass a law that makes "Jungle justice" illegal and punishable by law.
