Today in Nigeria JUNGLE JUSTICE SYSTEMATIC has remained an overlooked issue in Nigeria, I can't forget the ALUU 4 incident in years 2012, where four students of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) were iynched and set ablaze by resident's of the ALUU community in River State. The were accused of being armed robber's and cultists. Also today jungle justice is becoming epidemic in Nigeria, mostly the youth are the major victims and culprits in extrajudicial killings I just wonder if there is any humanity left in this country, the bad side of it is that a mere accusations of blasphemy and shouting ole! ole! ole!
can brutally end anyone's life in a few minutes.
HISTORY OF JUNGLE JUSTICE SYSTEMATIC IN NIGERIA
Jungle Justice in Nigeria has no particular history as it has been for decades, but however it can be traced to the this people's called THE BAKASSI BOY'S, a group which was established in 1999 by various association of lgbo people's of the south-east, Nigeria GILBERT OKOYE was the first learder of the association.
The Conclusion I made about this was that Nigerians are angry, and there is also something called poverty in the land, people are looking for various ways to unleash their angers on other's, I would say it doesn't mean JUNGLE JUSTICE SYSTEMATIC should be allowed to continue.
MY OWN QUESTION BE SAY HOW WE FIT STOP THIS DARK BEAST FOR 9JA TODAY???
YOUR REPLY WILL SAVE LIFE'S

Personally I'm one person that frowns at jungle justice, because of its cruelty.
In curbing the menace of jungle justice in our today's society, i think there are laws already in our constitution to deal with it.
But i will go further to make the law bite hard on offenders if I'm to make recommendations going forward. for instance, if your a traditional ruler in a community that a Said incident of jungle justice occurred, your to face charges for murder, if you're also a Local government chairman in charge of that LGA, you too are to face charges for murder.
Doing this will make the leaders of various communities and towns to be proactive and vigilant because they will easily pass the message of not killing people unjustly to their wads easily.
