Life is sacred and precious and must be handle with optimum care and respect, God divine and human being has strait laws against taking away of life, the Bible said in Exodus 20:13, thus shalt not kill, the United Nations and the Nations of the world has their own laws that guides human life, until such laws be broken life is still sacred.
Jungle justice is a practice very prevalent in Africa and most common in Nigeria my country, it is an act where a perceived criminal publicly beaten, stoned and finally put to death, the extreme of it is the necklacing and burning of the helpless corps of there victims, the victims are not allowed to any recourse to legal judicial procedure.
THE AGONIZING DEATH I WITTINESS
The picture you see above is the picture of a victim of jungle justice in Nigeria, he is between 8-10years before meeting his agonizing demise, in Lagos State Nigeria, he was allegedly a garri thief a native food made of cassava in Nigeria, he was captured by this angry mobs and area boys who beat, stoned and burnt this helpless boy who keeps shouting "i was hungry that is why I corrected small garri to drink", but this blood thirsty mobs was so mean to accomplish their evil act, I started shedding tears when a strange young youth just emerged from no where and hit this lad with a very heavy stone, that was his last voice I heard.
Any day I remember this scene my heart began to bleed again, this mobs always stand on the ground that the security and judiciary sectors of the country are very corrupt and can't be trusted to execute rightful judgment and for that reason they have resolved to be taking the laws into their hands.
No matter the reasons they given for jungle justice it can never be accepted as enough reason to take life, there is even an ongoing campaign to abolish capital punishment in some countries because it is very obvious that life is very valuable to be cut short by any man except God himself the giver of life.
With this I join my voice with that of many others calling on the United Nations and the the international human Right organizations to come to the rescue of Nigeria and Africa, and for Africa and Nigeria my dear country, a nation where the citizens has lost trust in the competency of it's judicial and security sectors, such nation is at the verge of collapsing, it is only in animal kingdom that an incident keep on repeating without a solution to it, I hereby implore our government to reshuffle the judiciary and the security sectors, so as to enable the citizens to believe in it efficiency to dispense credible judgment as and at when do, because justice delayed is as well as justice denied.
Steemians, save Nigeria and save Africa by saying NO TO JUNGLE JUSTICE.
