datgoaldigger: No crime deserves jungle justice. If our system have failed us, then we'll have to live with it. Afterall, our leaders were nor elected by aliens. |

OP. Don't claim to be new to nigeria or you just felt like writing something. Just like "thesicilian" commented. "In a country where our judicial system nd other law enforcement agencies seem careless" every person born of a woman should be careful as not to try and steal even a pin from the other person struggling to make ends meet. Where the law fails, we take it in our hands. People should not just come here to always write what they think. Just wait till you have experience with this 'Bandits' maybe u'l see the reason behind other people grievances. 1 Like |

You go come modify this your write-up when these criminals handle you wella for one corner and you're helpless. I used to think like you until i was terribly dealt with by some young criminals who made away with my valuables on gun point. Now i'll gladly supply mobs with petrol and lighter when jungle justice is ongoing. |

DesChyko: please OK we should be using the law they use in keeping save those politicians that steal our money for common criminals..I support you BUT wait till God forbid you faced with a life or death situation with a robber and he must have inflicted serious injury on you before you finally overpower him, then we can now come to review this issue you raising because by then your mentality would have a clear picture of what these guys called robbers do. 1 Like |

DesChyko:Bro, I was so much against jungle justice and advocated about it so much that it became a theme to all my discussion, not until August 7 this year while returning from work with my newly acquired laptop I bought then for 190k and my phone of 85k.inside the laptop bag was 350k which wasn't even my money, I was robbed and attacked, blood spilled through my shirt and I almost died, they went aware with my stuff and cash that wasn't mine, I had to cough through to pay that debt. If u were in my shoe, would u support jungle justice or not? It's good to look from d outside until u are affected. Attached below is d shirt I wore that night. 2 Likes

Certitude:Do you know how many people have been jailed by the courts for crimes they didn't commit? Just because some were too poor to defend themselves or had incompetent lawyers? No system is fool proof. In a society where the government cannot protect me, am I not allowed to protect myself? |

the spate of jungle justice shows the extent of collapse of our social system, the masses dont believe in the legal system so they take laws into their hands. Addressing jungle justice with laws that outlaw it wont be effective until people are assured that the legal system will provide justice. Till then the criminals will be tried in people's court. The only jungle justice i will support is that in which these cantankerous politicians are beaten black and blue like these petty criminals we victimise |

Burning/Killing A Suspected Rubber In The Name Of Jungle Justice Is Very Wrong. I Don't Mind If The Suspect Get Few Hot Slaps Or Some Kind Of Punishment Before The Police Arrival. But By Law, A Suspect Should Be Handed Over To Police, A Suspect Should Be A Able To Tell His/Her Part Of The Story And Answer Some Questions, While The Victim And Witnesses Will Have Their Chance Too. The Problem Is That Our Justice System Doesn't Really Work Especially For The Poor. If You Decide To Follow And Obey The Law, The Police Will Ask You For Money Before They Listen To You, They Will Frustrate You Until You Abandon Your Case. Lots Of People Are Afraid To Even Reporting Something To The Police, But Is Not Supposed To Be So. No Matter What, I Will Never Support Of This Jungle Justice. If The Suspect Is Not Alive To Say His/Her Side Of The Story, How Do We Know He/She Really Committed The Crime? Even In Law, Not Every Crime Warrant A Dead Sentence Or Even A Live Imprisonment. The Suspect Could Even Be Innocent! |

Nigerian Bar Association with all the graduates that finished from that school has gone to sleep. The officers of the court(i.e. lawyers) who are supposed to be the custodian of the law are now embroiled in political stratification. Since the demise of charismatic and indefatigable human rights fighters and renowned activist like Gani Fawenhinmi, Ransome Kuti and the likes, virtually nobody wants to plead the case of the oppressed and afflicted and stand against any incorrigible social injustice and perhaps jungle justice suffered by innocents and offender in our republic. Any time I read in the news, heard on TV or people talk about jungle justice it is always a case of gross domestic barbarity and social ignorance of our people. The type that is devoid of glorification and public patronage, appalling and desecrating the memory. This dastardly and disdainful act is unconstitutional and unhealthy in a progressive society that operates under the tenets of democracy with a popularly known written constitution. Ironically, the same type of people who see themselves as opportunist reporters fold their hands while the notorious hunters unleash ambush onto the prey caught in the trap of their frustration, hopelessness and helplessness with a bizarre cluelessness. Nevertheless, whenever a particular senator or politician is reported, caught or indicted of looting the treasury of the commons, you'll never see any lynching mob to harass, beat, torture and burn him to death. It is all hypocrisy and animosity coupled with grudge and malice we nurse against ourselves in an heterogeneous society about "unholy morality" of our ancient culture, customs and religious practices. Whether the law enforcement agents do what is right or not to offenders or criminals is none of our business, but we ourselves must know and stand for what is right before we can demand responsibility from anybody. Recently, the most pathetic, unwholesome and irreparable of such cases was the 7 year old boy caught of stealing a cup of garri in Badagry. All the accusers could do was to beat and tortured the boy before setting him ablaze. While both educated and non-educated fools stood there watching the drama, as if it were a movie. An unlawful action that was perpetrated with psychological misology in a liberal civilized society that operates under a law. Yet it must be known that irrespective of the damage done by offenders, once they have been caught, reported, arrested or handed over to the police, we are not constitutionally vested with the power of ultimate crucifixion, torture or beating to death of any offender or criminal. The provision of our law forbids jungle justice. It is condemnable; as you hitherto do to offenders. You're criminals too for burning unconvicted offenders or criminals to their horrible death. I had thought that jungle justice has stopped since the time I witnessed it long ago. But it is now quiet alarming, and if not curtailed; it is capable of growing into another Boko Haram Justice or Fulani Herdsmen invasion. It'll destroy our society's image as a fully civilized and educated people in the comity of international nations. Our lawmakers should enact a law seeking to punish jungle justice offenders in our society, in this case, the hunter becomes the hunted. I rest my case! http://www.financialwatchngr.com/2016/11/17/viral-photo-of-7-year-old-boy-burn-to-death-nigeria-police-reacts-says-victim-not-a-boy/ 1 Like |

Do you Now think ,if I should catch an armed robber ,I Wont join the bandwagon and beat the living day light out of the robber .there's this saying that says if you can't do the time don't do the crime ..in naija if you can't face the wrath when caught don't bother stealing .. Jungle justice forever ..quote me anywhere |
Re: There Just Has To Be Punishment For Jungle Justice by Nobody: 11:04am On Dec 08, 2016 |
emperorchedda:so you end up killing that person in retaliation. What makes you different from the thief and killer? A murderer is, simply put, someone who kills or has killed before. Some people are victims of circumstance i.e killed in self defense cos their life was in danger and had no other choice but when someone knowingly kills with the excuse that the person is a criminal...I don't know what to call that, i mean... I seriously will never want to be associated with such a person..giving excuses for knowingly snuffing life out of someone and even defending it as good...nah that person is also a serious security risk. Nobody holy pass. |

i am totally against jungle justice. it show that we Nigerians are no different from the primitive and we have not come of age. no matter the crime of the accused. you cannot take laws into your own hands. that was how horribly killed those bright boys from uniport just because the idiot that wanted to evade them accused them wrongly of being robbers. we must learn to allow the law take its course. 1 Like |
