Jungle justice isn’t the solution, be it Garri or cellphone, 7 years or 30 years…. He doesn’t deserve to be lynched or burnt. Xoxo wrong

God will not have mercy on a country where kids are burnt to death for stealing Garri.

Our Justice system.
Steal billions > 1month in a luxurious prison.
Steal millions > 1year.
Thousands >10years.
Phone/garri > Burn alive.

The depressing thing about the 7yr old who was burnt alive for stealing garri, is that even before the court of law, he is still a juvenile.

Anyone who steals Garri right now should be given groundnut and Sugar, not burnt to death.

— Witty_Wicked_Wizard (@iam_oyebode) November 16, 2016

But then, how much garri would that child have stolen just to satiate hunger that was induced by irresponsible governance, to deserve death?

I hope @NGRSenate pushes a bill against jungle justice as fast as they amended the CCB/CCT Act..d killing of a boy over Garri is 1 too many

He stole garri.
He stole a phone.
Whatever he stole, his life has more value but people proved otherwise.
