Topic: (JUNGLE JUSTICE) SYSTEMATIC IS BECOMING AN EPIDEMIC IN NIGERIA TODAY!!! (Read 78 times)

It's true that to many, jungle justice has become a normal way of life whereby they don't mind setting their fellow human being ablaze just because he/she is a suspect of an alleged stolen item, because to me, the government is the only set of people that can bring this menace to the least minimal, if not a complete stop by how they react when such case is reported to take place, because we can all vividly remember the case of "Deborah" who was set ablazed by her fellow classmates, which went viral, and after the victims was arrested, we heard few days later how people protested & they got released by the police, and that was how the case died without been charged to face justice. So if government can pass a law about "Jungle Justice" & be serious about it, that whoever is found to be guilty of such to face life imprisonment, I'm sure this menace will drastically stop.

Thank you OP for bringing this topic to the front burner.
 Personally I'm one person that frowns at jungle justice, because of its cruelty.
In curbing the menace of jungle justice in our today's society, i think there are laws already in our constitution to deal with it.

But i will go further to make the law bite hard on offenders if I'm to make recommendations going forward. for instance, if your a traditional ruler in a community that a Said incident of jungle justice occurred, your to face charges for murder, if you're also a Local government chairman in charge of that LGA, you too are to face charges for murder.

Doing this will make the leaders of various communities and towns to be proactive and vigilant because they will easily pass the message of not killing people unjustly to their wads easily.

Firstly I ask my self WHAT'S JUNGLE JUSTICE OR MOB JUSTICE??? Is a form of public extrajudicial killings which can be found in NIGERIA AND CAMEROON where an alleged criminals is been publicly humiliated, beaten and summarily  executed by by some gang of peoples call VIGILANTES OR ANGRY MOB.

Today in Nigeria JUNGLE JUSTICE SYSTEMATIC has remained an overlooked issue in Nigeria, I can't forget the ALUU 4 incident in years 2012, where four students of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) were iynched and set ablaze by resident's of the ALUU community in River State. The were accused of being armed robber's and cultists. Also today jungle justice is becoming epidemic in Nigeria, mostly the youth are the major victims and culprits in extrajudicial killings I just wonder if there is any humanity left in this country, the bad side of it is that a mere accusations of blasphemy and shouting ole! ole! ole!
can brutally end anyone's life in a few minutes.

HISTORY OF JUNGLE JUSTICE SYSTEMATIC IN NIGERIA
Jungle Justice in Nigeria has no particular history as it has been for decades, but however it can be traced to the this people's called THE BAKASSI BOY'S, a group which was established in 1999 by various association of lgbo people's of the south-east, Nigeria GILBERT OKOYE was the first learder of the association.
The Conclusion I made about this was that Nigerians are angry, and there is also something called poverty in the land, people are looking for various ways to unleash their angers on other's, I would say it doesn't mean JUNGLE JUSTICE SYSTEMATIC should be allowed to continue.
MY OWN QUESTION BE SAY HOW WE FIT STOP THIS DARK BEAST FOR 9JA TODAY???
YOUR REPLY WILL SAVE LIFE'S
