A disturbing post surfaced online showing a man’s sister’s injured body after she was allegedly beaten by a masquerade while returning from work. The brother stated that he had reported the incident to the appropriate authorities and community leaders and warned that any masquerade involved would be arrested. In response, one comment escalated the situation dangerously: “I say until they kpai one of those masquerade. Others will not learn.”
This statement is deeply troubling. It openly calls for killing as a form of deterrence, replacing justice with mob violence. While outrage over the assault is understandable, advocating death normalizes lawlessness and endangers innocent lives. Violence does not correct wrongdoing; it multiplies it.
Incidents like this require lawful investigation, accountability, and community reform—not calls for bloodshed. When public discourse endorses killing as a solution, it undermines the very justice victims seek and risks plunging communities into cycles of retaliatory violence.
