Catholic Men Organisation condemns killing of Deborah, growing wave of jungle justice in Nigeria

The Catholic Men Organisation of Nigeria Lagos Archdiocese (LACMON) has joined in condemning the cold-blooded murder of Deborah, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto for alleged blasphemy. 

The President of LACMON, Vincent Otiono addressed journalists at the organisation’s corporate office on Tuesday in Lagos. He described the killing of Deborah as extrajudicial, primitive in nature.

He stated that nobody is entitled to embark on Self Help in addressing any perceived Infractions.

He said the law does not condone this act of jungle justice.

He further added that members of LACMON  estimated to be about four million should ensure that they all participate in the ongoing political process by getting their PVCs ready to elect God-fearing leaders that will deliver the dividends of democracy to the masses.
