You are absolutely right! In DEVELOPED countries. Sadly Nigeria is not such, so we adopt tools that suit out environment. What in developed countries they call Police, we cant call them so in Nigeria. What developed nations consider of their law courts, we cant in Nigeria. And what they call Jungle Justice, well, we may call it Justice here

ziccoit: Thank God the woman is alive to tell the story. Meanwhile this kind of misplaced undeserved jungle justice can only be seen in a jungle like Nigeria.

How many of JEGs, SAMBOs, MINISTERS, GOVERNORS etc, both past and present, who we can argue deserve this kind of jungle justice, are being killed like this everyday? When are Nigerians going to stop being insensible?

Oh no, you got it wrong. we're civilized humans in an uncivilized environment. In a civilized world, the police would be trusted, and those thieves would be cooling off in jail cells, in a civilized world, the woman's recharge cards wouldn't be seized by the police also, the people will have faith that their case is safe with the police. but nay, everyman protects himself, even from the police. the people cant trust the police and courts, they have to protect themselves and prevent a recurrence of these robberies, and send a message of deterrence to the would-be robbers. THAT, my man is justice. You call it barbaric, i say it is what the society calls for.
What makes their actions inhuman, yet makes a Supreme Courts decision to hang a man human?

dvdon: Waow just like 2 pac sang, dats just the way it is, some things will never change. Smh. RIP.

Let us not live like animals. You said good riddance to bad rubbish and still claim not to support jungle justice. Oh well, you're just advocating.

prince_onx: And what a blank is molestation doing in my statement?
@mod: Rap e is an English word and its allowed to speak or use even in public! Ok?

redsun: Nigerians develops backward,mentally and otherwise. How could their fellow citizens have just been roasted alive for just mere phone? Mind you,they had the chance to kill the woman when she tried to stop them,but didn't because they ain't exactly killers. Just fundamental deprived as a result of evil leadership that has plagued Nigeria since it emergence as a nation.

Okija_juju: O well!

I'm still not a supporter of jungle justice, but I say good riddance to bad rubbish..

Like Jonathan said, Nigerians have lost confidence on the police.. This is the resultant effect of that loss of confidence..

Young man, are u a lawyer

IseOluwa777: Somebody had to do the job of betraying the Lord Jesus Christ, however woe to the man that did it says the bible.

Though the cup of those robbers was full (thats why they died), whoever partook in killing them (even one blow) is guilty of murder and in time, their cup will be full too.

prince_onx:
Can you please summarize this BS in one line? Are you saying stealing or robbing people is Ok as long as they're not killed? Or robbery is allowed if its a small item like phone or recharge card? What do you do for living by the way? Should I guess? Cux you seem to know what they should have or could have done!

This is not Jungle justice, it is JUSTICE. did you not hear, the police had failed them. Handing them over to the police, three weeks later, these guys will have bribed their way out and would be on a revenge mission. With no hope for these innocent law abiding citizens, the last hope was to 'let them buurrrnn, let them buurrrn, let them burrrrn'

olokfor: An angry mob has set three suspected armed robbers ablaze in Ikotun, Lagos State.

We learnt on Thursday that the robbers were set on fire on Wednesday evening, shortly after robbing a recharge card trader at Second Junction bus stop on Governor’s Road.
Our correspondent, who visited the area, observed burnt tyres, carcass of a burnt motorcycle and some human flesh on the side of the road.


The recharge card trader, Ese Akporhono, who had a bandage on her head, told our correspondent that the robbers came to her shop posing as customers.
She said a few seconds later, the suspects pointed a gun at her and stole recharge cards worth N400,000 before fleeing.
She said, “Around 5pm, I was closing the shop when the men approached me saying they wanted to buy recharge card.


“Before I knew what was happening, the men brought out guns and went into my shop, They stole recharge cards and money. I engaged them in a struggle and attempted to prevent them from fleeing. They overpowered me and used the butts of their guns to hit me in the face and head.”
Our correspondent learnt that the robbers allegedly snatched a motorcycle and shot a man in the area and were fleeing when a motorist knocked them down.

An eyewitness, who requested anonymity, said a bystander prevented them from fleeing as he pelted them with stones while they were attempting to stand up.

Other residents quickly joined the bystander and grabbed the weak robbers, beating them up to a pulp.
He said, “After the vehicle knocked them down while they were attempting to escape, we seized them and beat them to a pulp. The crowd grew larger and this attracted the attention of policemen.”

Our correspondent learnt that a team of policemen from Ikotun Police Station stormedthe scene and attempted to rescue the robbers but were overwhelmed by the mob.
It was learnt that policemen even fired gunshots into the air but the mob remained adamant.
A woman, who runs a bar in the area, said another team of policemen also arrived from Area M, Idimu, but the mob set the robbers ablaze.

She said, “The policemen came in a patrol vehicle and asked the crowd to hand over the robbers but they refused because they did not trust the police.
“Another team of policemen also came but the crowd ignored them. Some of them (crowd) got tyres, placed them round the robbers’ necks and set them ablaze.
“They however handed over their guns to the police.”

When asked why the residents took laws intotheir own hands, the woman said there had been an increase in robbery in the area and the police had failed them.
She said, “It is because armed robbers have been terrorising us that is why we close our shops early. Last year, a pregnant woman was robbed and killed in this area.

“We cannot continue to fold our arms. By this act, robbers will be afraid anytime they think of coming here.”
Akporhono told our correspondent that her recharge cards were still with the police and they had refused to return them to her.

“Police are holding my recharge cards as exhibit, I want them back because I am the victim,” she said.
When contacted on the telephone, the spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, said she was aware of the incident and promised to call back.
