<h2>The <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/nigeria-police-force/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nigeria Police Force</a> has issued a strong caution against the practice of jungle justice in the country.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reports that the force gave this warning in a statement released on Monday by the Force Public Relations Officer, <strong>Olumuyiwa Adejobi.</strong></p>
<p>The statement highlighted the detrimental effects on the administration of justice and the rule of law.</p>
<p>Jungle justice, which involves individuals taking matters into their own hands, has received widespread condemnation for undermining the criminal justice system and perpetuating violence and lawlessness.</p>
<p>The latest warning from the force was coming following a recent incident in Lagos State where a security guard named Agunbiade Adekunle allegedly killed and burned a vandal.</p>
<p>Adejobi confirmed that the guard has been apprehended and will face charges of murder in court.\</p>
<p>The police spokesperson stressed that such actions impede the smooth investigation and prosecution of cases, ultimately undermining the rule of law.</p>
<p>He urged the public to refrain from engaging in mob actions, extrajudicial killings, and other forms of vigilantism.</p>
<p>Adejobi emphasized that jungle justice is a criminal act and a serious violation of human rights, leading to a cycle of violence and weakening the authority of legitimate institutions.</p>
<p>He emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law, promoting fair and transparent legal processes, and rejecting vigilantism in favour of civilized and democratic principles.</p>
<p>He urged communities to collaborate within the legal system to ensure justice is served and to avoid actions that foster fear, prejudice, and injustice.</p>
