Lesson learned for those culprits. They should work harder to be able to buy things they like and not to steal. They have the courage for steal so they must also have courage to sustain the pains from the mob.

Jungle justice is what you get when police don't know their jobs. When police is only keen on corruption and how to exploit you. It is disgusting and unacceptable.

Yeah people are now taking laws into their hands. This is why we just have to be careful with stealing ir taking what doesn't belong to you.

Though stealing is wrong, but killing the man because he stole is still not right. We need to stop jungle justice.

it has been happening in Nigeria for ages now but you see people don't want to learn. They keep on stealing and get burnt

Jungle justice would always continue to exist in my country. The justice system is not to be trusted. I can't be part of a mob action but I won't condemn it totally.
