In reactions to a video showing a man assaulted over ₦11 million allegedly linked to fraud, one comment crossed a dangerous line: “Make he thank God say no be my work, he for don die by now,” implying the commenter would have killed him instead. This statement is extremely alarming. It openly endorses murder and presents lethal violence as a reasonable alternative to assault. Regardless of any alleged crime, no individual has the authority to decide who lives or dies. Comments like this normalize bloodlust, glorify vigilante justice, and erode respect for human life and the rule of law. When killing is spoken of casually, society inches closer to chaos. Accountability must come through legal processes, not threats of execution disguised as bravado.
