Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has
reacted to the alleged lynching of a 7-year-old boy in an unidentified area in
Lagos State.
Earlier in the week, the news of a 7-year-old boy, lynched
and burnt to death for attempting to steal some garri in Lagos ‘greeted’ the
social media.
The former VP condemned the act via his Twitter account,
@atiku.
He wrote, “That jungle justice still exists is an indictment
of our justice system. We must work harder to deepen confidence in our justice
system.
“I’m saddened by the stories of lynching from different
parts of Nigeria. Irrespective of age or alleged crime, we have to be more
tolerant.”
