Aluu Four lynching

Aluu Four lynching refers to the mob killing of four University of Port Harcourt students in Aluu, Rivers State, Nigeria on 5 October 2012. The incident brought national attention to "jungle justice" in Nigeria. Quotes The failure of the criminal justice system is one very important reason for this. It is important for 'jungle justice' to be stopped - it is bad. When I arrived, I forced my way through the crowd and knelt before my son's corpse. His friend Tekena was barely breathing, I watched his chest heave with his last breaths. Vigilante justice and mob justice generally takes place when there is a culture of impunity for crimes and in Nigeria, the Nigerian authorities have failed to crack down on this culture of impunity. I want the world to know how our security failed us. I want the world to know that my son and his three friends are innocent of what they said they did.
