A
yet another case of jungle justice by the poor and hungry has been
reported after two elderly men were this morning, caught stealing
cassava from somebody's farm.
Two elderly men who went to steal casava probably as a result of
the economic situation of the country, were earlier today, caught in the
act, stripped, paraded and flogged by angry residents of a local
community.
Below is how constitutional lawyer and human rights activist,
Inibehe Effiong, who posted the photo, narrated the incident on social
media;
"I read online that the two naked men in this photo were caught
this morning stealing cassava. Just look at what was done to them by
fellow Nigerians.
"They stole cassava which cannot be worth more than N10,000 yet
they were stripped, severely beaten and inflicted with grievous
injuries.
"Nigerian lawyers will pretend not to see this. Those who are
shouting rule of law for the rich who are accused of massive corruption
will also pretend not to see this.
"Those who did this to the two men may be among the set of Nigerians that are talking about rule of law for the rich.
"Do we really believe in the Rule of Law in this country or is
it rule of the rich? Jungle justice for the poor, petty thief and rule
of law for the rich and corrupt. We are hypocrites. Period!"
