Mrs. Amaka Nweke, country director of the Global Society Against Corruption (G-SAC, decried jungle justice. However, Nweke criticized the attacks on POS operators and stated that individuals should not take the law into their own hands but instead turn such problems up to law enforcement authorities.
"I abhor what the thieves do to the POS operators, but I also condemn crowd action." She argues that they should have turned them over to the authorities rather than breaking the law. However, an unnamed local person stated that the bandits deserved what they received.
"I like how they were set on fire alive to serve as a deterrent for others." If you have been victimized by these scumbags, you will want something even worse to happen to them. I have no sympathy for them. "I don't care if they burn in hell," he said.
The police had yet to confirm the incident, with police spokesman Daniel Ndukwe stating that he was unaware of the heinous incident. He stated, "The event has not been brought to my attention, but I will investigate."
