It is an established fact in life that for us to survive in a sane society
not girded with the cloaks and fabrics of anarchy, individuals must
desist from perpetuating criminal and uncivilized acts such as
“jungle justice”. This article basically examines the concept of jungle
justice, its origin, and position of law, legality and the attitude of the
courts towards it in Nigeria.
In carrying out this work, the author has adopted literature review,
construction of cases and statute, critiques as methodology for this
research.
