Mr. Olufalayi Obadare is a 45 years old man who lives with his family at Ilawe road, Ado Ekiti. He was clubbed and attacked with weapons, he then slipped into a coma before he died.
The area has been under constant attack by robbers in recent times, it was this that prompted, the youths to take this action.
The wife of the deceased, lamented that her husband, told her that he was going to Olujoda to get a contract. I was greatly surprised when I heard he was killed, because of mere suspicion of wandering around in the area.
Jungle justice has been criticised by many Nigerians, as a hard way of rendering justice. This has led to the death of many innocent people. Even with security agencies kicking against this, many Nigerians have refused to desist from this wicked act.
It has come to the time, government should enact stiffer laws against this act.
The Police should arrest the perpetrators of this dastard act, to serve as deterrent to others.
