NIGERIA is light years away from being governed by the rule of law, evinced by the fresh cases of mob killings. Over the past few months, the act of setting crime suspects ablaze, euphemistically called “jungle justice,” has seized the landscape. Gruesomely, many persons accused of crime have been lynched in gory ways in Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Lagos, Delta, Kwara, Benue, Imo and Cross River states. Execution-style jungle justice clearly poses a threat to the rule of law and due process.

It lamented that the Federal Government has changed Interim Management Committee (IMC) twice and now an interim administrator in less than two years, saying the NDDC, which was established to facilitate development of the region had been reduced to a political coliseum.
National Publicity Secretary of PANDEF, Ken Robinson, argued that the NDDC Act did not provide for an IMC or interim administrator.
