The police spokesman warned the state residents against jungle justice.
“Jungle justice is condemned in strong terms. It has become recurrent in the state.
“If allowed to continue, it will degenerate into what all and sundry will not be able to curb, and many innocent lives will be terminated unjustly,” Fadeyi said.
The spokesman said that the state police command would not condone taking laws into one’s hands.
