Anambra State Police Commissioner, Aderemi Adeoye has warned that the State Police Command will not condone reckless resort to jungle justice by anyone or group in the State.
A statement by Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Tochukwu Ikenga, quotes Adeoye as describing any mob that lynches crime Suspects as beasts noting that such group who resort to Jungle justice are worse than the suspects they lynch.
He maintained that it is wrong to lynch someone who steals a phone because the sentence for stealing a phone is 3 years in jail.
“Those who lynch commit murder which carries the death penalty as the Courts have not delegated anyone outside the Judiciary to try, convict and execute suspects”.
Adeoye advised all aggrieved persons to take their cases to the Police and if they do not get justice to contact his office directly.
He assured the people of Anambra State that the Command would always be alive to its responsibilities in maintaining law and order.
