The study has examined, “The Role of Church in averting Mob Justice at Kibaigwa
Township in Konawa District”. In the midst of failure and collapse of the criminal
justice system, the study focused on assessing the role of Church in averting mob
justice practices.
A sample of 100 respondents was selected in the study. Data collection employed
questionnaires, in-depth interviews and documentary reviews. The table, figure, and
the frequency were used for data analysis. The theories relating to this study were
employed to familiarize the reader.
The study reveals that, people still believe in the word of God and see priests as
persons worth listening to; also, the Church has a greater impact on changing people
behavior pattern including mob justice. However, the ability of Church to avert mob
justice is limited to lack of fellowship within the church, poor collaboration among
Christian denominations furthermore, Church disseminate less information relating
to mob justice, laws and human rights.
The study recommends that, Church should not only rely on biblical teaching alone
but also should disseminate information on orders and laws of the state. Moreover,
the church should improve the sense of fellowship and collaboration within
denominations. The judicial system should improve transparency and reduce
bureaucracy as well as amending legislations that create loopholes for persistence of
crimes. And the police force should improve their resources including man power
and facilities. Lastly the study suggests some areas of further researches for mob
justice. |
