Jungle Justice on twitter...
"I'll tell you my experience #JungleJustice.I took a night bus
to Aba some years ago from Abuja to the fabric market…
After I had walked around and seen for myself, I went back to
the park and decided to have a beer.I brought out my laptop
and started writing…trying to blend in so I don't look out of
place.I was scared but knew that in a few hours, I would be
back home.As I took a swig from my bottle and turned to my
laptop, in a flash…someone had lifted the bottle in pursuit of
a young man.I heard screams of 'onye oshi' 'thief'…that's
when I realized that the woman screaming had been robbed of
her purse..
The woman claimed she had only N200 and an umbrella in
the purse. They pursued him, caught him and put a tire on his
neck.They poured fuel on him and all I could do was beg the
officers there to help him. They looked at me funny and
struck the match.My journey to the nation's capital was no
longer the adventure I hoped it would be, it was my worst
nightmare.
This isn't a movie… I'm talking about Jungle Justice in
Nigeria. I think it's sickening and sad. We cannot lose our
humanity.If a man does wrong, please seek the hands of the
law. Taking the law into your hands is barbaric and that's not
what we should be.What's your take on Jungle Justice? Let's
talk!""
