The end came for two robbers
when they attempted to rob a Northern trader at gun point. The trader who came
to procure goods at the Nkpor New tyre market was intercepted by the robbers at
the road side under the watchful eyes of passerby.
According to eye withness, the
robbers operating on their bike, they stopped the trader along the
Onitsha/Enugu expressway, close to the market at a gun-point and ordered him to
hand over the money he was carrying in a bag to them.
As he was about to resist the
order, they shot at him for three consecutive times but the bullet did not
penetrate his body.
Seeing that the bullet did not
penetrate they sensed danger and were about to runaway when the trader brought
out his dagger knife and stabbed one of them on the chest.
Luck however, ran out of them
as on-coming vehicle hit their bike and both fell off as they mounted on their
bike to run away.
On lookers who were watching
the incident immediately mobilized themselves, turned to a mob, arrested the
two robbers and set them ablaze.

bodies of the robbers were being roasted there.
