Two armed robbers who had terrorised Atim Edem Rise and Efio Okoho neighborhoods of Calabar South LGA in Cross River State were violently killed yesterday by angry youths.

The names of the suspects were not immediately available at the time this report was filed.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that both resided in the same neighborhoods.

One eyewitness, Reuben Akabom, said that during the wee hours of Tuesday morning, a young man, not more than 35, was caught while burgling a home in the Efio Okoho neighborhood.

Luck ran out for him this time, as the terrorized residents, tired of his persistent robberies, were able to overpower him, according to residents.

“He was dragged to the Efio Okoho junction in front of a private hotel.

“The robber was mercilessly beaten, and they brought condemned tyres, where he was reportedly burnt.”

Our reporter arrived when his charred remains were being evacuated, probably for burial at an undisclosed location.

Another incident had occurred on Saturday on Atim Edem Rise Street, not far from Ibesikpo Road Calabar.

The other suspect was also alleged to be a known criminal who repeatedly robbed and intimidated residents, instilling fear in them.

A youth leader who gave his name as Inyang Ekpenyong explained that when the robber was caught and overpowered, they used the same machete he used in robbing to chop him.

Armed robbery is reported to have resurged in recent times in the Calabar South enclaves.

On Sunday, one Obong Ete, a landlord on Waddel Lane near Mbukpa Road who was known for constantly stealing from his tenants and neighbors, was caught and brought before his tenants, who were asked to take turns flogging him as many times as they desired.

Reacting, the PRO of the state police command, Irene Ugbo, cautioned against jungle justice, advising that all suspects should always be handed over to the police for proper interrogation and prosecution.

You people should stop killing people!

No amount of stealing is worth taking a man soul
No amount of stealing is worth sending your fellow men to endless eternity in hell.

Jesus say
He that is without sins should first cast the stone.
Enough of jungle justice
Stop killing people.

Let the law take it course
Repent from killing and stealing, two wrong cannot make a right

Jesus saves

Cross River no dey use eye see robbers. If them see any na fire straight.

People get mind oo. Setting a fellow human being ablaze.

Other measures should be taken wen a criminal is caught, rather than setting the criminal ablaze.

chai maka why

I am sorry, what? These people are murderers and many of them will walk free from this. They will become husbands and fathers — assuming they already aren't just that — and will probably continue their murderous ways beyond this. They may graduate to serial killing or killing for hire; the bloodlust is hard to do away with. Some of them would even turn to the organ trade— kidnapping and killing at random in the name of organ harvesting— as we note has become a norm in that country. Is that the crop of people you wish to have around you?

One has to be very careful in these perilous times.

Everybody eye dey RED!

With the level of pain from T-Pain, don't steal, if you will steal, don't get caught, the moment you are caught just say your last prayer. It's finished!

Smart Neighbours indeed. So tired of the robberies around that they lynch a hungry thief. The real looters of our commonwealth are ushered in with fanfare. Nonsense.

Anybody that kills a dog won't hesitate to behead a human being.
an igbo adage.
calabar people kills dog at will so butchering people won't be anything to them

If Nigeria youths want to be taking the law in to there hands, they should go after this our useless politicians and leave this hungry youths alone

Murderers are by nature cowards! Your Nigerian youths in this case are nothing but a bunch of cowards.

Public justice is never the best
