Two more armed robbery suspects were given the jungle treatment as they were burnt to death
by an angry mob in Nkpor, Idemili North Local Government Area of
Anambra State, barely two weeks after two suspects were also set ablaze
after they robbed an Hausa trader at the New Tyres Market.
The incident that led to the recent jungle justice
came when the robbers armed with pistols, trailed a woman on a
commercial motorcycle with money in a 'Ghana-must-go' bag that she was
taking to the bank.
The suspects allegedly snatched the money from the woman believed to be the cashier of a local bank branch in the town.
After
snatching the money, the shot sporadically into the air and in a bid to
zoom off, the had an accident with their own motorcycle and the woman
and other passer-by who saw the incident raised alarm, alerting a
passing police patrol team who went after the hoodlums.
Eyewitnesses
report that on sighting the police, the suspects fired shots at the
them and the police replied but the bullets did not pierce their bodies
but they were overpowered by the crowd which dispatched the jungle
treatment on them, burning them to ashes.
