Actress Nse Etim shared a chilling story about Jungle Justice on twitter and I feel it's a subject we all have to pay attention to , in order to change that perception or rather the barbaric act .. read it below
"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!"
