Anambra CP warns residents against jungle justice

The Commissioner of Police in Anambra, Aderemi Adeoye, has cautioned residents against taking laws into their own hands by engaging in jungle justice.

Adeoye said the command would no longer condone situations when people engage in jungle justice by lynching suspects to death without trial.

The Police Public Relations Office, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, in a statement, quoted the police commissioner on Friday as saying that perpetrators would be charged with murder.

He described any mob lynching of crime suspects as bestial and worse than their victims.

The PPRO said two suspects have been arrested for involvement in a recent mob lynching that resulted in the death of suspected criminals.

“Someone steals a phone and a mob kills him. The sentence for stealing a phone is three years imprisonment.

“Those who lynch commit murder which carries the death penalty because the Courts have not delegated anyone outside the Judiciary to try, convict, and execute suspects,” he said.

Adeoye commended Anambra residents for their eternal vigilance and cooperation for peace and security in the state but enjoined them to report every criminal matter to the Police.

According to him, “If they do not get justice, they should contact my office directly.

“I assure the people of Anambra that the Command will always be alive to its responsibility in maintaining law and order.

“Recourse to self-help is not necessary and it will not be tolerated,” he added.

Meanwhile, an earlier press release by the state PPRO, DSP Ikenga, on Thursday, noted the effect of how an organised syndicate has taken advantage of insecurity in some parts of Anambra to rip off residents with death threats.

It read, “Police in Ozubulu and Umunze towns in Anambra State have smashed two deadly syndicates extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public via deadly threats.

“At Umunze, Orumba South LGA Headquarters, two suspects were nabbed after painstaking investigation.”
