Following the tragic death of Lieutenant Samson Haruna, a Nigerian Army officer allegedly set ablaze by his wife during a domestic dispute in Akwa Ibom, one alarming comment read, “Investigation as how, set her ablaze too.” This statement called for instant retaliation without waiting for the truth to be established. Such comments are dangerous and reflect a mob mentality that disregards justice and due process. No matter how emotional or painful a case is, vengeance cannot replace lawful investigation. Responding to violence with more violence only deepens injustice. Every accusation deserves fair investigation before judgment or punishment.
