A video circulated online showing a group of men assaulting another man over ₦11 million, allegedly obtained from fraudulent activities, because he did not give them their agreed-upon share. While the situation involves criminal activity, one comment stood out: “Lmao they went easy on him, he should’ve got more than that!” This response is deeply concerning. Celebrating violence—even against someone engaged in wrongdoing—normalizes brutality and trivializes human suffering. Taking the law into one’s own hands erodes justice and encourages mob mentality. Accountability should come through legal channels, not beatings or public shaming. Laughing at violence fosters a culture where cruelty is entertainment and undermines the very principles of law, order, and ethical conduct.
