Say No To Nigeria's Barbaric Jungle Justice

There is a video that has gone viral now, it shows a young man who was lynched in Lagos, Nigeria. His offence was stealing a mobile phone. Stealing is not a crime that should be condoned, but citizens lynching culprits alive has become an acceptable norm in Nigeria. 

The video was too gruesome, I decided not to post it up. The police has waded into the situation and vowed to arrest the culprits involved in the demise of this young man. But this has become a habit in Nigeria, with the government dealing with corruption and embezzlement in higher places, the citizens are taking laws into their own hands without government interference or approval. What would the president, Buhari say on this matter, or is he silently condoning this type of behaviour?

"It's ironic that d same mob that metes out jungle justice to small-item thieves, prostrates for d million-dollar thieves when they drive by." - Festus Keyamo

if Nigeria government can promote family planning and birth control awareness drives to curb its population growth, awareness should be introduced to the masses nationwide, encouraging the citizens not to take laws into their own hands, they should refer such cases to Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) outlets to deal with such matters.

To the readers, do you experience jungle justice in your country? Kindly share your thoughts with everyone. Thank you.
