Following the killing of a boy in Lagos weeks back, the Nigerian Senate on Monday moved to pass the anti Jungle Justice Bill.

The Anti Jungle Justice Bill went in for 1st reading in the Senate on Tuesday 11th August, 2016 & 2nd reading Weds 5th October, 2016.

The Anti Jungle Justice Bill seeks to criminalize all forms of lynching, mob action and extrajudicial killing of anyone.

The bill aimed to to discourage the use of jungle justice by ensuring the wheel of proper justice is well oiled.

The bill which is sponsored by Sen Dino Melaye representating Kogi West Senatorial district will ensure that perpetrators of lynchings and mob actions are brought to book.

The extrajudicial killings has of late been on the increase

hmmmm...... before we go use am for them

this is a good development , but would it be properly enforced

Even bubu go ...

Thats what they need but they are thinking they can repel and avoid not knowing that they are just pushing it to the day they will stop BETTING, VIEWING CENTRES AND MMM that when government will know there is fire on the mountain because that is whats keeping youths at bay.

All criminals are now protected.

About time

dat one no concern me oh



d one way concern me pass wey dem suppose move na ANTI DATA INCREASE BILL

Jungle justice is not just meted out to anybody at any point in time without due reasons and due to delay of justice in the courts I think that's the major reason why jungle justice is on the increase

I'm totally against jungle justice but in some situations, you won't feel pity for them because they don't feel pity when inflicting pains on individuals

I also hope the Senate passes law for accelerated hearing so that justice should not be delayed for whatever reason

Ti won ba gbo o. Since d tym immemorial, we don dey hear; don't put law in2 ur hands....Shikena!

Soo, they could not do this since ba??


Those senators eh


Na to hold them for neck aswear!

K

Better. No more jungle justice, we ain't cavemen.

They should also pass ANTI CORRUPTION bill. That's the most important bill we need.

These people use their brain for once
That's nice

Someone should call for a comprehensive investigation of Aluu4 incident. Who's the senator representing that constituency sef?

The loved ones of those boys deserve justice!

Wow!

I can't believe Nigeria never put this forward till now. With all the incidents I've seen reported.

What exactly do Nigerian tax payers pay these clowns to do anyway?
They get paid more than any lawmakers on the planet, but do the least amount of effective lawmaking.

Better late than never, but still.

it is very pertinent they put it in check......or else someday one of them will fall victim

Strange to know that no such bill existed before until now! Wetin these buffoons dey do in d so called house all these years?

How will they implement it?

Useless country.

NCC and those pushing for this Move should have a rethink.

it wont stop it, jungle justice shud extended to polithiefcians. they are worse than armed robbers. health sector, education, transport,power all dead resulting in death and sufferings everyday

Rubbish! Before now, were those people caught not punished...excess exaggeration.

Sponsor Bill that if you are a governor and you refuse to pay at most 2months salary, you should vacate ur seat.

Sponsor bill that as a governor, if no development isn't seen within 365days of assuming the office, you should spend the same 365days in kirikiri.

Then, I'll take y'all serious.

NCC nor go see us kee.call NCC to order,forget jungle justice.

Good move!


Why can't some folks just borrow some sense?
They should learn to say it as it is and not just spew trash just to attract few silly LIKES.
The Senate just did the right thing.
