The beating of a plantain thief by the mob as shown below is the most unfortunate act only seen in a country like Nigeria. I know Nigeria is operating a legal system(Substantive and Procedural law) specifying offenses and procedure thst must be followed in prosecuting offenders. I also know that we have a justice system even though the justness of the jusice system to me is questionable. My point of argument here is rationality behind the jungle justice meted against the plantain thief. We know that things are hard. We also know that people stole and still stealing our money in millions and billions and you watch them roam our streets with no one raising raising a finger on them. People steal billions from our God given resources and go free but a poor man looking for what to eat is stoned for a ball of Akara. I am not defending evil, but we know that principles of equity which underlies substantial justice demands that factors motivating crime, degree of situation and individual involvement must be considered. Unfortunately, those who beat this man to this condition as shown here did not consider especially, what motivated the stealing of plantain instead of a car or electronics or even money. Then must they follow jungle justice? If they failed to reason on the condition, situation, empathy snd sympathy that that the type of crime should have attracted, then why did they not take him the the appropriate place for the law to take its course? How can you administer a punishment heavier than the crime committed? Do we really talk of justice where there is unequal punishment and treatment of offender who is convicted on the street by some miscreants/hoodlums. If we are talking of justice systems here, all those who contributed to the beating and disgrace of that man allegedly treated that way without formal conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction must be brought to book and that however, does not stop the investigation of the alleged stealing to prove if he actually stole or an arrangement to tarnish his image. - Vivian Gist Reporter
