Yes I Hate Jungle Justice but these Robbers atimes kill their victims before robbing them off their phones/Wallets/ Laptops etc....


Well "They Say Two Wrongs don't make it Right" -Wyclef

But loosing a brother to these miscreants can make even a gentle soul to partake in such Jungle Justice

Sad....may His brothers soul RIP

people say two wrongs don't make a right, to me even reporting to the police is even wrong.
because those thieves gat gangs who will go and bail dem and dey will keep on disturbing people.
Nigeria police are useless.

i wonder why people reason with their ass , he is a kid watch the video closely and see things for urslf ,let's assume he's a thief he doesn't deserve this punishment......we have no law in this country for Christ sake I say NO to jungle justice ..

I'm speechless, I felt for this boy no matter what he is human, but on a second thought, he could also be a monster when dealing with his victims, I remember how this hoodlums usually bang on my windscreen trying to force it open, at one occasion they forced open my car, pressed my neck on the steering and robbed me of my fone, money and other valuables yet a police post was like 100 metres away from the scene ,even tanker drivers at mile 2 where all watching while I was being robbed,

My own is I am not encourage theft but if judge today your suggested judgment could comeback to your family tomorrow. The sad thing is the poor people Kill themself when they still within them self & but rich people move & overlooking the issues poor people poor mind

sunny99:
Y not hand him over to police rada Dan killing him,repentance is very eazy

So that he can come out of jail on bail and rob more people? Pray you're not a victim. You can only be reasonable with someone that has "sense" not a thief that has come to steal, kill and destroy.

This is the kinda thing that happens when people live in a country where they're not guaranteed justice.

Don't point fingers, you don't know what you'll do if you're in the same predicament!

Bros, I pity ur condition too o. But a life someone cannot create should not also be taken by someone. Only God should be responsible for that. May ur broda soul rest in peace o. I pray God will console ur family especially ur mom by creating a source of joy for you guys so that ur mum can be happy and think less abt past event.

Tell it to someone that has bn a victim. I abhor theft and anytyn that makes a man cry but I support all solutions including lynching as long as it's done to d ryt person. The police can't protect us so we gotta protect ourselves now.

You surely get the message, the police know these are existing and there modus operandi but can't do anything either they desire not to or overwhelm by the situations. May God help us .

Thanks my sister.
People blame the THIEVES and robbers and not blame the unworth senseless parents that gave birth to them.

Come to think of it, we are 8boys in my family and no one is wayward, it's not as if my parents are rich or perfect but very disciplined and strict and yet we were brought up with love, care and most importantly Fear of God. So we grew fearing them and God.
Despite the fact that we grew up in the most notorious area of Ibadan in the 70s/80s Ekotedo/Adamasingba.

"Train up the child in the way he should go and when he grows up he will not depart from it" says my Bible

My friend go and sit down. Just thank God for the lives of your family if what you say is true.

Something happened on my way to work today, a guy went inside a bank to withdraw money and after withdrawing, he came out with money tied inside a polythene bag. Two okada men were just in front of the bank and snatched the money from him and zoomed off. As God will have it, the young man started pursuing them and got hold of the bike and they were now struggling, you need to see the main young man's body, it was so bruised with injuries his hands, chest to the tummy area as a result of him rolling on the coal tar. As cars were now coming over to where the incident was happening, they dropped the money and the guy now left hold of the bike and they zoomed off. Advocates what do you have to say? You think ass they left with the money, the guy will have mercy on any thief that any mob wants to lynch?

I was sitting down when I typed it and I wonder why u are pained with what doesn't concern you. Your parents must have failed woefully like the parents of the boy killed. It shows in your action

Same thing is happening in Odogunyan, spintex road. There are many notorious thieves, cult boys over there. They rape females anyhow, even a mother, they ve robbed, rape, killed so many people there. Anyone that lives around there will relate.

Kill them all.....all these people shouting jungle justice I wish these monsters will come knocking in your door.

The guys story is really pathetic but two wrongs don't make a right, they could have just handed him over to the police

did you read where the guy wrote they informed the police about the happennings at Alafia bus stop? Did you also see where he wrote he is still waiting for police to do something.
I know Alafia bus stop there are police stations close, if not any other one, Orile police station is close.
What have police done all these years?
Bros... Forget oh!

and the new recruit if caught will be burnt accordingly..

which in turn makes you a criminal

Two wrongs don't make a right.

two deaths of ur family members can make him right bro

As Nigerians grapple with the gory details surrounding the lynching of a young man for allegedly stealing garri, a legal practitioner, whose account went viral on Thursday claimed the victim and his gang tried to dispossess a woman of her belongings.

Kingsley Ughe, General Counsel for Joint Action Aids, in a Facebook post titled, ‘A Thief and A Frenzied Mob Baying for Blood,’ said the victim was a member of a gang of notorious thieves and not a seven-year-old boy, as claimed by media reports.

He explained that the young man met his dastardly end after his gang tried to dispossess a woman of her belongings, including an Infinix Note 2 phone, at Augustine Onwualu street, Orile Iganmu, Lagos last Saturday.

The woman, however, held unto her phone and screamed for help.

Read Ughe’s account below

The true account of the young man lynched and summarily burnt to death at Orile Iganmu last Saturday speaks of the uncertainty and brevity of human life in Nigeria. It was Saturday, the 11th day of November 2016. The venue of this macabre killing orgy was at Augustine Onwualu Street, Orile Iganmu, Lagos.

A woman, (name withheld) was walking along the ever busy road of Augustine Onwualu street, Orile Iganmu. She had an Infinix Hotnote 2 handset with which she was making telephone calls in high pitched voice, frantically gesticulating in the process. Close by, on the same street were a gang of 4 notorious thieves, well known in the area for their dare devilry and viciousness. They were there, waiting, prowling and surveying the entire scenery for a vulnerable victim to rob and dispossessed of their valuables as they often do in the past. And successfully too.

“The woman approached. Still talking on the phone and gesticulating with her free arm. She was immediately spotted by the very perceptive eyes of this criminal gang. A brief conference amongst them, she was adjudged a soft target. There was no need for further plans or careful surveillance. After all they had done this successfully in the past. More so, their sheer ferocity makes them a sort of feared mobster in the local vicinity. But it turned out to be a miscalculation. And costly one at that!

“They approached and circled the woman who was oblivious of her surrounding and the imminent attack on her person. The robbery attack was swift and very decisive. She was held from behind by two members of the gang. One of them deftly pruned her hand bag off her shoulder and the same time attempted to retrieved the telephone with which she was making calls from her other arm. The last of the gang stood guard, providing cover for the others.

“They had during their planning stage misjudged the desperation of a Nigerian woman about to be dispossessed. The victim reacted swiftly. She let the hand free and held on tenaciously to her phone. A struggle ensued. The victim plaintively cried out for help. A motley crowd gathered. The other members of the gang, appropriately appraising the situation fled the scene. The fourth member was not so lucky. He continued to engage in an internecine struggle with victim for the phone. In desperation, he brought out a dagger, and cold blooded stabbed the woman repeatedly in the chest, stomach and shoulder. There is a proverb, when a strong animal flirts too much with the trap, he makes his meat available for children to share with teeth.

“The gathered crowd became enraged and promptly apprehended the abandoned thief. He was beaten to stupor, Tied up and set ablaze while the maddening crowd continued to bay for his blood.

“Joint Action Aid was alerted on Monday when video clips of the dastardly murder went viral on social media. We reported the yet another resort to “jungle justice” to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos state. The video clips were carefully analysed and some arrest made. The six people arrested through our efforts denied criminal culpability and brought fast talking lawyers.

“More frustrating, the charred remains of the alleged thief had been removed. The area council and Orile Iganmu police claimed ignorance of the whereabouts of the corpse. Thus we have a dead zone situation. No dead body, no witnesses and then, most understandably, an unwilling complainant still battling for survival from the grievous multiple stabbing at the hospital. We returned back to the office, again defeated. Frustrated. And defeated.The rule of law is vanquished again. The rule of the jungle continues to win triumphantly.

fkdmods:


Only animals hold this kind of logic you have displayed. So because someone stole from you gives you the right to commit murder? What do you think jungle justice is? I[b]t is murder plain and simple[/b]. There is no law in Nigeria that sanctions it. I have said it before and i will keep saying it; Almost every citizen in Nigeria is a potential murderer.

I witnessed one last month @ this same Alafia b/stop. It is a den of criminals

dsamedaniels:
Someone talked of American police in comparison to Nigerian counterpart and some other people talking off points. It is easy for people to come here and talk 'rubbish' because they are yet to have experience of others. For those condemning jungle justice and supporting handing over, wait someday until you have a bitter experience then we'l know you'r fit to contribute. "An eye for an eye" A tooth for a tooth" when the Holy book says "he that live by the sword shall die by the sword" it didn't say it's only for d law. If a situation requires pressing solution, whoever has that solution should proffer it.

that includes those that committed the murder(jungle justice)

Am with the guy on this if it ws my bro or family would have done the same thing

Same goes to the boys family,
They should have a feel of what their victims family feels

You will be a parent soon if you are not already yet. And then you will see siblings with different character, it takes only the grace of God to keep all in check. Take care no need for the insult.

I live in the US. Corruption is global but Nigeria's own is in broad day light. That's what I meant by "not like Nigeria". The US law enforcement agents do a much better job fighting crime than Nigerian agents. That is why they hand people over to the police here.

Well said my brother. Don't mind what @Peacetemi: is saying. Maybe he doesn't know much about the US legal system and the law enforcement agents the way they operate and not like a Zoo country like Nigeria whereby most law enforcement agents will even save the criminal involved so far the person can pay them money.

Our legal system in Nigeria is one of the worst in the entire world hence I thank the present government over their stand to clean up the legal system.

In Nigeria, a victim cannot get justice hence the only option left for the members of the public is to avenge their anger by giving the criminal the jungle justice when caught in action while armed. If any armed robber in Nigeria who rape and kill while armed is caught, only jungle justice I suggest for them.

You can imagine the pain of losing a 20 yr old man who was just coming back from dance rehearsal only to be stabbed to his death because of ordinary phone? I wonder why some people come here to start defending criminals asking that they should be handed over to the police that would end up releasing them after collecting something from them and they will still go back and start killing innocent people.

I could remember a day at Oshodi on one of my visits to Nigeria, on an evening I was on traffic when a young guy noticed the glass I had on me, gold plated, the guy just took the glasses from my eyes.A glass I bought for $1,999 that was on Sales.If I had a gun on me, that would have been his end cus I'ld have blown off the mother fvcker's his head.

meen i stroll all over that end even as late as 10pm without an inking that that area was a dead spot. hmmn. my house is just 2 mins treking from there o. Chineke na azo mmadu ndu sha.

I'm sorry for the way I replied but your go and sit down irritated me. Im so Sorry and thanks for the mature way of replying. I am married with kids and I know how my children have been and thank God for them. But seriously I don't count my self lucky, and do you know why? as you lay your bed so you lay on it. What you reap is what you sow. with the help of God anyone can do the same. Don't indulge a child right from when they are babies.

Do you know how it all starts. He is just a child leave him, Shes a baby dont spank her. Put your fear and fear of God in a Child from when they crawl and you will live to have peace on them.

OK have you heard any news of the parents or family of the boy showing up to condem the act. or crying over the incident. where are they?
Since how many days now. That shows you he must be one of those Street boys that don't have homes.

Sometime a TV station went to interview them on Ibadan Street. and come and hear them talk.

Where do you live. he mentions a slum part of Ibadan
Where are your parents ? my father left my mother and me and my six siblings.
when last have you gone home. it's been long o. (says that with all smiles)
since wen? almost 8/months now
where do u sleep,? In front of some shops when the owners have gone home.
How do you feed yourself?
We wash the wind screen of vehicles

you know and so on and so fort

When parents fail in their duties as parents then the children become danger to the Society.

Anyway may God help us. I'm sorry again for the silly reply.

This anger and hate should be focused to both our past and present leaders...

That's it bro. wit no sentiments.

This kinda jungle justice is not acceptable. The boy is too young. They should have given him enough strokes of kobokoamd hand him over to the police...people should use their brain to know the kinda people they carry out jungle justice on. Not this small boy. It's very bad

You sound so uneducated. Even if you are,it's a waste. One day you will eat your words. No human being deserve to die like that. And the many likes i see on your post shows how inhuman many Nigerians are. And on sunday we go to church and pray for forgiveness or favor? Who are we deceiving? The hypocrisy exhibited by many Nigerians is the reason we will not move forward as a country.
