The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) on Sunday, October 20, condemned what it described as dangerous and abhorrent trend of jungle justice.

The police cautioned the general public on the consequences of such on the criminal justice administration, rule of law and the global reputation of Nigeria.

The development is in view of the recent spate of jungle justice in some parts of the country.

The Police said jungle justice, a deplorable and savage behaviour, has led to the tragic loss of lives and destruction of property across the country.

This inhuman act, the police said is a betrayal of justice and due process, which undermines the rule of law, fundamental principles and ideals of human rights, and justice.
