IHE OJOOO GBAA AFO;

“Olè! Olè!” renting the air. He runs into the compound opposite us and tries to scale the fence. Hands are clawing fiercely, trying to get a grip. Alas for him, his pursuers get a hold of him. They drag him outside the compound and out into the streets. I don’t know how, but the numbers have suddenly tripled. I don’t know if half the people there even know what crime the apprehended suspect is alleged to have committed. I don’t think they even want to know.

Then the beating begins. Somehow, his clothes have disappeared. Everyone wants to lay a hand on him. Cement blocks are smashed on his head, building lumber, stones, anything at all that is available. Soon he is bleeding, and the call for tyres is made, by whom I know not and then I remembered the very first thing my lecturer; Dr Nnamuchi Obiajulu taught me in ‘Children, Women, Illitrate and the Law’ class

That beyond and above all considerations of race, nationality or creed:

1. The child must be given the means requisite for its normal development, both materially and spiritually;

2. The child that is hungry must be fed; the child that is sick must be nursed; the child that is backward must be helped; the delinquent child must be reclaimed; and the orphan and the waif must be sheltered and succored;

3. The child must be the first to receive relief in times of distress;

4. The child must be put in a position to earn a livelihood, and must be protected against every form of exploitation;

5. The child must be brought up in the consciousness that its talents must be devoted to the service of fellow men.

And so, I asked myself, who failed? The parents? Government or society? I wanted to be numb, but my soul cried out loud for me to ignore the feeling. I am supposed to have been accustomed to pain, but I am a man who has a heart. By implication, pain has a space in my system and no matter how one tries to suppress it, it will definitely find a vent to erupt.

Like voices from the grave, the boy cry out that there “ain’t no love in the heart of the city”. The boy would have pleaded for mercy but they were seen by the bloody men of Lagos as someone that deserved to die.

I may not know what that poor boy faced in the fire; I may not know what the torture and pains he went through. But, I know that some strokes of cane or other stringent actions will have changed his life.

Yes, I know, ‘Jungle justice’ is a product of deep pain from being expressed by citizens because those who are breaking the law are going scot-free. A thief that obtained materials from another fellow at gun point walked freely and even flaunted the wealth ill-acquired to oppress his victims. Anyone who has suffered tends to be unsympathetic to such oppressor. He would definitely guillotine the head of a thief rather than handing over to the police.

I recalled the people in James Ibori’s community celebrating his genius for theft and known criminals walking away with chieftaincy titles in my native Igbo land. Even now, big thieves are in our political offices lording it over us. They steal public funds without any meaningful development in the land, yet they are not given the jungle treatment. But the poor boy suffered because he was not guarded by policemen as our corrupt politicians are protected. That is the kind of country we live in: the poor hurt the poor and the thieves smile to the banks mocking the rest of us.

The killers of the lynched boy must be brought to book. This is important because Nigerians throw caution to the wind when it comes to meting out punishment illegally. The mob killings are becoming a trend in our country. The Aluu Four were not the first to be videoed while being brutalised and killed for unproven offences. We have had similar stories from places like Lagos, Abuja, Anambra, Calabar and so on. Now this 7years old boy.

I know very few may not be able to stomach the mob action, but in such barbarity, when one stands by and watch those that commit the crime without alerting the authority, one is also shares the guilty verdict. True that one man’s voice may not make a different, but one must not wait for someone else to speak up against evil, it requires courage to condemn it and one will find that he is not alone.

The spirit of the boy victims, would surely be calling for justice. I feel I should write a poem to suppress my anger. But could poem have woken the dead from their grave? The best I expect is for government to ensure justice is done to atone for the killing of this young boy… Maka na

Oh!!!!! ! ... When will Nigeria stop this barbaric act.

Such a small boy... It's just a pity. Buy WHY jungle justice on a child that can b scold and counsel?

Social media activists. There were over 20 people standing and watching while that young man was being burnt like a Christmas cow and not one of them raised an objection. Its only on faceless social media platforms that voiceless lambs become roaring lions.

There is GOD and he Never sleeps.... Justice must be served, those that did this will NEVER find peace, everything they touch will burn with bad luck.... Their heart shall find no happiness. They burnt someone's son!!!! Murdered someone's baby!!! I am soooooo angry and sad. This is inhumane and no one tried to help!!! Why?!

and sometimes these people were set-up and caugth unaware y kill a person that only stole, did not kill, whereas those who killed are been arrested or walking free. now am so ashamed I'm a Nigerian. If I could change that i will.

It always easier for them to say "No to jungle justice" when this boys never catch them for corner. These thieves will not hesistate to end anybody's life when they are in operation. When caught and handed over to the police, they are released again and continue thier devilish acts, and when the people react, some so called activists will sit in the comfort of his AC office or house (with possibly security guards) and be making noise about "say no to Jungle Justice"....They shoul all Just Shut up already!! ...If I am caught stealing or casuing harm to anybody, the same justice should be meted out on me...Enough of all this pretentious behaviors abeg!.....lets face reality!!


AND THAT IS NOT A 7 YEARS OLD BOY!!..may God punish that blogger that started the "7 years old boy" rumour!!

charijee:
Oh my God!
This is inhuman
Just what did he steal to have gone through this torture
We keep spilling blood everyday yet we pray for a better Nigeria
He must have done what's wrong but no one has the right to take his life......no one

#NoToJungleJustice

but he haas the right to take other people's life ba

charijee:
Did you witness him do that?

You didn't hear he stabbed his victim 3 times and attempted to kill 3 other people who tried to apprehend him?

charijee:
You must not tow in his path
Hand him over to the law enforcement agencies

No one should take life when you can't give one







Jungle justice has also taken innocent lives

I pray that you never have to experience the atrocity these people can cos.... Most of them won't hesitate to take their victim's life..

Like Jack Bauer would say, "This people don't play by your rules"

charijee:
I have been there ....that notwithstanding, I still maintain my point

Ok





How body?

charijee:
Body dey one corner dey chill

How groove na
