Jungle justice was meted out to two suspected motorcycle snatchers by a mob at Mararaba near Abuja recently.

City News learnt that one of the suspected thieves was set ablaze around Sharp Corner, near the Abuja - Keffi expressway, while the other was beaten to death with dangerous objects in Kabayi area.
The two men believed to be in their 30s, were said to be of a notorious gang that specialised in snatching commercial motorcycles popularly called okada.

Witnesses said scenes of the incidents were deserted for fear of police arrest.

The witness said thieves operating in groups, have since been terrorising okada riders and causing panic in the neighbourhood.

A witness, who simply identified himself as Mr. Dan, told City News: “I can’t tell you how many okada riders have since fallen victim. These thieves have snatched many okada and they are ever ready to snatch more.”

The witness alleged that the suspects killed some of the riders in the process, “Many of the bikes were bought on hire purchase for as much as N180,000. How do you think the riders or owners can pay this money when the okadas are snatched from them?”

He said luck ran out on the suspects when they tried to escape with a snatched motorcycle. They were tracked by mobs at different locations, he said.

Another witness, Mama Paul, said she didn’t jungle justice, but the criminal activities of the suspects have become incessant and disturbing to push the mob to that extent.

An okada rider, who pleaded anonymity, said people were tired of seeing the suspects back in the streets few days after their arrest by security operatives. He said that must have led to the mob action instead of reporting to law enforcement agencies.

Reacting to the development, a police source who would not want to be named, said that the police were working within the ambits of the law, and did not release suspects anyhow, but charged them to court after gathering substantial evidence.
At the ‘A’ Division Police Station Mararaba, an officer who does not want his name in print, confirmed the incident and said no arrest was made as both scenes were deserted and nobody came for the dead suspects, adding that the bodies were evacuated and deposited in the mortuary.

"Suspected" .... "believed"... "alleged"...all words of uncertainty. .

Yet the brainless mob chose to extinguish lives which they didn't give on the basis of mere suspicion of robbery


Last bullet. .... If the dead dudes were indeed robbers, MAY THEY CONTINUE THEIR BURNING IN HELL

jungle justice

Jungle justice is not the way, but our legal system has failed us. If they had handed them to the police, dem go use 5k settle dem bois and get back to snatching things again. Jungle justice is still not the way!

Inasmuch as I frown at jungle justice, the failure of people saddled with the responsibility of upholding the law leaves the masses with no option than to take laws into their hands.

Nigerian Police needs cleansing!

aNDYBLAZE

It is unfortunate

Serves dem right,though I condemn jungle justice

Okay, what actually happens after people die? Mehnnnn it's scary what the other side looks like..

If only the law enforcement agencies were doing their job. . .

When people are pushed to the wall, we see such reaction. Dysfunctional society.

Cruel....

Expect my edifying single soon.... #HoldOn

Hmm

Buhari is working o...

OMG...but why?
Then, we need to burn all those who loot our tax payers money too. Masses rising again masses. nobody holy

What a wicked world and that's why white will always refer to us as black monkey. May God Judge those people. For all have sinned and cut short of the glory of God. Why are Nigerians so wicked like this, imagine burning your fellow human like a goat. And yet some people will be smiling and taking pictures without knowing they are all committing the same sin. I can't just wait to get out of this God forsaking country. This is so pathetic and disheartening.
