Actress Nse Etim shared a chilling story
about Jungle Justice on twitter(I had to
copy it out to make it easy for reading)
"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!"
