The Lagos State government, on
Friday, warned that perpetrators of jungle justice in the state would be
apprehended and brought to book.
Mr Ade Ipaye, the state
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Ade Ipaye, gave the warning
in a statement issued in Lagos.
According to him, the practice of
lynching suspected criminals would not be condoned by the authorities
irrespective of the offences the suspects might have committed.
He noted that the warning was
necessitated by recent media reports that some persons were attacked in the
state based on mere allegations of kidnapping, stealing and ritual killings.
‘The government totally condemns
these attacks as the suspects could be wrongly accused.
“Even if they did commit the
alleged offences, there is a process for prosecuting and showing evidence in
court so that proven criminals can be properly punished according to the law,”
he said.

ReplyDeleteIt is high time we become organized society we cant be barbaric in nature and expect the world to belive we are not animals. The police should also rise to the expectation of the people the are serving,alot is expected from the police and we can not progress as a nation with out law enforcement. Secondly the judiciary also have a big hand to pass justice quickly with out bias. We can be great if we want.
ReplyDeleteThe police at that spot said similar issue happened this and b4 they know it the dpo got a call order that the kidnapper shd be released! Imagin no one is save if someone can kidnap torture and kill another for ritual its really bad. And someone here. Is preaching perfect! Am sure that person is a kidnapper to if not I pray his/her entire family will be in that situation too then he will know that kidnapping people ( human beings) for rituals shdnt allowed atall, it has nothing to do with perfect atall, this is how boko harram started and now they can't be controlled soon kidnapper will soon become law in Nigeria but b4 then GOD will destroy them and there backups that are using Bible or GOD'S word to back thisevil / demolic act IN JESUS NAME.
