STOP JUNGLE JUSTICE!

Hiya,

I know its been forever, been gone a long time. she's back, back with some things that's been bothering me. Let's discuss!

In Nigeria today, it is a  fact that the human life is no longer valued or worth more than a pinch of salt, The practice of jungle justice has flourished in Nigeria that mere shout of “ole ole” (thief thief) may end the life of the victim. Nigeria is in a process of significant transformation, however jungle justice still strives. Mind-sets needs to be purged of so much evil, selfishness, hate and anger towards his fellow citizens and such anger be transferred into creative and well-meaning ventures that would benefit the individual and the nation at large.
Based on the increase for the desire amongst all to be treated fairly, Justice is a non-negotiable factor for the development, existence and sustenance of every society. The concept of Justice and Security are so delicate that their absence could damage a nation greatly and their abuse could as well be disastrous to any and every nation.

                              

The need to checkmate Jungle Justice cannot be over emphasized, ultimately because, Jungle Justice is like an undetected virus that is on the increase and has so far, caused some greatly irreparable and irrevocable damage to the society because in most cases, wrong or innocent persons are killed. Due process needs to be followed in everything we do, this is where the police are given a place of function by conducting proper and thorough investigation, and the person upon this investigation is charged to court and the prosecution is done by a court of competent jurisdiction. This in itself is true Justice! No matter their offence, it must be noted that the very essence of the law is for the propagation of order, for avoidance of chaos and anarchy.    

I ll stop here for today, to be continued next week, please leave your comments below, lets hear your thoughts on this issue.
