Such cruelty

JeffreyJamez:
One would think with all these cases it would deter other demons from stealing and killing people.... ...I say continue burning all of them till the rest know that the street is not smiling!! ....imagine that one even bragging inside a police van that he would come back and hunt them... Goes to show how useless the NPF is.

This is the 21st century but many cities in Nigeria still engage in some barbaric practices. One of such is jungle justice.

Almost every week, you must hear at least a story of how people were lynched for stealing or committing one crime or the other and this excludes the ones that go unreported.
Such suspected criminals are often subjected to a lot of pain before life is finally gone out of him/her. They are attacked with sticks, stones, bottles or anything that will inflict serious pain on the person. After which, they burn the person alive.
For some, their punishment is well deserved, it is justice served. They feel they have a right to decide whether a criminal lived or died. But for those with a conscience, it is the height of wickedness. It is just barbaric.
Below are times Nigerians went too far in punishing a suspected criminal.
1. 7-year-boy was beaten and burned to death in Lagos
Photos of a young man who was beaten and burnt to death went viral on Wednesday, November 16. His crime was that he stole garri (a staple food). The report was that he was a 7-year-old boy. However, the police debunked the report saying the person that was killed was a man and not a boy, and investigation on how he died is ongoing. Because it was a man still does not justify the act.
While he was being subjected to so much pain by the mob, others stood by and watched, taking pictures and filming the incident. Some others were screaming ‘hit him well’. Apparently, they have lost their conscience as they thought nothing of taking another person’s life.

pray you are never a victim of armed robbery. When you experience how they operate and how dangerous they are you will rethink. Even though the Bible says though shall not kill, i think those armed robbers have lost their right to live.

Your first incident was a lie

Op this guy isn't a 7 year old boy but a 20yr old with small body.

He didn't steal garri but a phone after which he stabbed the owner.

Please let's stop misinforming the public.
