Henry120: @horus, there should be other forms / ways to make donations, not only through electronic form. Nigeria is still a country were virtually everybody relies on cash payments. Thank you.

These acts are barbaric, and have to be stopped.

N.b, there should also be a facebook page and twitter account to mobilise and keep people up to date. Thank.

Horus: [size=17pt]Help stop the practice of mob lynching in Nigeria[/size]

The Petition

We URGE you to help stop the practice of mob lynching in Nigeria.
Almost daily, persons suspected of petty or serious crimes, including children, are subjected to the worst forms of brutal assault by mobs who take the law into their hands in apprehending, trying and convicting these suspects.
The mob actions often involve stripping the victims until they are stark Unclad, after which they are viciously beaten with sticks and all manner of cudgels until they die. On other occasions, used car tires (tyres) are hung around suspects’ necks and they are doused with gasoline (petrol) before being set ablaze while alive with onlookers standing by.

Thanks to the power of the Internet, information about these extra-judicial trials by angry mobs on the streets of Nigeria is shared on blogs and social media like Twitter and Facebook, revealing that these practices are more common than assumed. This year alone, several of such brutal applications of mob justice has occurred around Nigeria.
With your help we can put an end to these barbaric acts and ensure that legal processes are followed in the matter of arresting and prosecuting perpetrators of these obvious crimes.
We also seek to make sure that the Nigerian Police adheres strictly to the LEGAL processes in dealing with suspected criminals after arrests are made.

We are petitioning the following institutions and officials:

1. The Nigerian National Assembly
2. The Nigerian Inspector-General of Police
3. The Attorney-General of the Federation
4. State House of Assemblies
5. Governors and State Commissioners of Police
6. The Nigerian Presidency

Our Demands:

a. Make it a criminal act to facilitate or participate in any act of mob lynching.
b. The intended enactment must provide incentives for informants who witness and document such acts.
c. Provide budget for public enlightenment on this matter.
d. The Nigerian Police force be more transparent on issues regarding arrested suspects

We encourage you to sign this petition and to join us in compelling the Nigerian authorities to end bestial acts that debase our humanity and project a barbaric image of Nigeria. Help stand for human decency and the rule of law in Nigeria.

Thank You.

redsun: What is the brutal nigerian police doing to round up those salvages called students that commit those senseless and brutal murders?Since there enough video and opicture evidences,it wont be a difficult task.

Until the savages start paying for their inhumane acts,the barbaric act of lynching innocent people wont stop.And at the same time,the desperate and daredevil nature of robbers who wouldnt want to be victims of such act,wont stop.The more brutal the society becomes,the more brutal the robbers become.

Jakumo:

This 17th century insanity must be stopped NOW. Lock all those murderous creatures up and let them rot in jail. They have NO place in ANY society.

helpee: If only people can upload pictures of robbery scenes for you, you will rather sign petitions for better things. That killing will be brutal if you have never witnessed the brutal killings by robbers. Educate young men to live within their means.

Does it mean the above story is wrong?

ijigbamigb: @Horous, @Jakumo

I think the era of us ignoring this barbaric acts is gone. I think since the social media is now very popular in our country, we should step up our fight against cases like this. If we don't act now, this won't stop. It happens everywhere and I have witnessed about three different cases but this should be the last. I think there should be legal practitioners on Nairaland who should be willing to donate their time and strength to fight this. Let get on twitter and on facebook, get across to media houses, newspaper houses, get the national human right commission involved along with all sane Nigerians. I am willing to dedicate my time in this fight. Heads should roll for this lawlessness.

killuminati: I watched the video and it's obviously not in a school premises but out on the streets. And the senseless doesn't look like students, I can say, they are not students but community members and others. I hate that gory scene! I ask, is there no police station or even any officer around at that time?
