When Tinubu comes to your house to rob and is caught, he'll be lynched and until then, think of better things to sort out your broke ass! The police are not trained to kill suspects except in self defence. These robbers should expect no mercy from mob action cus what they mete out to their victims is no less, even more as they take their lives as well as their monies so who's more wicked between them and the mob?

It is either you didn't understand my message or you chose not to. You said the police are not trained to kill SUSPECTS except in self defence. Good point there. You called the person suspect and he remains so(a suspect) until he is tried in the court of law. Tell me the work of the police if not to handle such cases like this one. Police get involved because of prejudice. Morally, we all seek for mercy, either from God or fellow human beings, and it wouldn't be mercy if we deserve it, but right. When we steal, we lose our constitutional rights but what of mercy that we all ask from God each day. I want you to search yourself and tell me if that thief deserves such death. What of 10 years imprisonment, or 20 years or even more; with hard labour. I am not a thief, but life should be treated like one. The mob should have called the police. That is my point. None of them deserve to be alive if God should judge us without mercy.

I disagree. It's NOT about upbringing, it has nothing to do with our problem. It's about national moral decay.

Nigerians see corruption as a way of life because every sector and institution in the Nigeria from the top to the grassroot is very cortupt! You can't make it in Nigeria if you're not corrupt!

It's virtually impossible for corrupt people to remove corrupt goverment.

The only time change will come to this failed nation is when a Nigerian Jerry Rawlings takes power by force and kill all prominent and corrupt politicians, including those in his ethnic group!

When Nigerians see corrupt people like; Obasanjo, IBB, Jonathan, Tinubu, Saraki,, entire members of Yaradua's cabinet, entire members of Obasanjo's cabinet, entire members of Jonathan's cabinet, all known corrupt senators and representatives both past and present, all governors and their deputy both past and present, etc, legally killed by hanging, then Nigerians will know it's no more business as usual.

Am so weak when it comes to politics. Though, am in totally agreement with your opinion, especially the part that supports fatal penalties to corrupt politicians. Its the only way to curb corruption by instilling fear in them.

Yes.

Pque:
u should understand that d death of that suspect came from those aggrieved nd tortured by previous robbery in that area. It is a form of revenge. Have u been attacked by armed robbers b4 nd have any of ur love ones suffered from robbers or thieves b4?

Last year, Some armed robbers around Ifo area of ogun st. stole bikes from some okada riders nd shoot their hands. THESE HAPPENED REGULARLY for, like 6 mths before they were arrested. Few weeks later, some of them were released at d intenvention of their lawyers. These year again, they started d same thing. After diligent investigation they were arrested nd those robbers sold each of d stolen 11 bikes so far for 150k. After they stole d bike, shot d owner in d hand, they delivered it to another guy who changed d plate nos and finally sold it out for 150k. Madam guess what. Presently some of these criminals have been bailed again by their lawyers b4 they were charged to court. What do u think these released criminals will do again. I'AM NOT JUSTIFYING JUNGLE JUSTICE. I'AM ONLY EXPLAINING WHY SOME VICTIMS OF THESE CRIMINALS PREFER TO CARRY OUT JUNGLE JUSTICE ON SUSPECTS CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF ROBBERY.

Madam? Dats offensive, I feel 50. We r all entitled to our opinion but remember that there is always exception in every case and wen power is given, there will surely b those that misuse it. Innocents are actually the ones mostly killed yle d real culprits roam the street as free-men.

vislabraye:
No. I'm trying to look at things from both sides. People are very angry and frustrated. Things are very difficult.
Robbing a poor man of his life savings is tantamount to killing him.

Yeah. Yu make a point there. But instead of killing frustrated people *who due to their harsh life condition resort to such survival means* why dont you advocates of Jungle justice *no Offense intended* channel your anger towards those responsible for the nation's frustrations.

Though jungle justice is bad, but crime is worse

Bro, you must be the one who chose not to understand. In the eyes of the mob, an armed robber caught I the act of stealing is already convicted and sentenced! Is that too difficult to understand? Look at the bellow, an incident as reported in another news on nairaland :

According to the police command “the suspects confessed to the allegations of the victim’s kidnapping after which they raped, strangulated her and buried her corpse in shallow grave at Ogbosi.

“The gang also confessed to have been responsible for the kidnapping Pastor Chukwu Ekere of same Ohigha community and killed him for the simple reason that the man of God disturbed them with his preaching of repentance and also for urging them to shun their nefarious activities and accept God.”

For full details, check "armed robbers kill pastor for preaching repentance to them"

Abeg no spoil my mood this evening!

Lagos no joy, if dem catch you red handed robbing, you die. Too many people in this city, good way to eradicate evil scums, so fresh breeze blow us.

Oga robbing or killing deserve death, even in the bible there is a time to kill...stop these new testament king james jargons. If punishment is bad, why did the bible say hell is reserved for evil ones. Religion and reality are different.
