The Nigerian police in Ebonyi state has begun a campaign against jungle justice and mob actions in the country.

The police implored the public not to engage in jungle justice or mob action in order to tackle injustice in the state and the country at large.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Police spokesman, SP Chris Anyanwu,  in Abakaliki on Friday.

The campaign lasted two-day and was aimed at sensitization stakeholders in Ebonyi.

Anyanwu said that the campaign was taken to Abakaliki Mechanic Village, the Ebonyi branch of the Okada-Riders Association, the International Market, Abakaliki, and the Ebonyi Tricycle Association secretariat, among others.

“There is the need to shun jungle justice. It is not a good approach to achieving a society devoid of crime.

“Jungle justice and mob action escalate crimes in the society. Let us allow the rule of law to prevail.

“People must report crimes to the police in the interest of justice.

“Report to the police for proper investigation to allow the criminal justice system to prevail on suspects rather than take the laws into your hands,’’ Anyanwu admonished. (NAN)
