Two suspected armed robbers were Saturday night burnt to death by unknown persons at Ekpo Eyo by Unwanse, Calabar South.

A resident of the area who preferred anonymity told Grassroot Reporters that the hoodlums who were three in number were pursued from Orok Orok through Ekpo Eyo.

The robbers who were said to be armed shot at the boys who were pursuing them but they kept pressing.

He said " they were three in number. One of them hid behind a transformer in the area to avoid being caught but unfortunately, he was caught. While one escaped, two were not lucky".

The unidentified robbers were said to have had their bodies mutilated before they were eventually burnt.

As of the time of filing this report, their corpses were yet to be evacuated from the area.

In a telephone chat with Grassroot Reporters, the police Public Relations Officer in Cross River State, DSP Irene Ugbo said the police is aware of the incident and have launched a man-hunt for the perpetrators.
"Yes I'm aware of the incident. The report got to me early this morning. According to what we gathered, three of them were on a mission when eventually the people of the area caught them. One of them escaped with a gun while two were unlucky and were lynched".

She added that " Whatever it is, we don't encourage any member of the public to take laws into their hands. We have been preaching against such acts. It's an unfortunate one. Our DPO have gone to the area to see if they can arrest the perpetrators. They were suppose to arrest them and hand them over to the police, not to take laws into their hands. So, we are working on it".

Are you a Nigerian? Do you live in Nigeria?

Why killed and burned?

They can be used to get more of their kinds thereby making the area safe to reside. Now they have spoilt every means to getting others like them, hope the people that ignited them can now rest.


Some people no get brain at all in times when it is needed.

I thought this trend has stopped existing. A killer and a thief who is more evil?

Don't judge lest ye be judged.

#SayNoToJungleJustice

He who is without sin should be the first to cast a stone.
Among those who did this may have done worst than these thrives did

Nigeria's love for jungle justice is second to none



God help us

Good for them!

Congratulations

Unfortunately this won't deter other robbers from stealing, it has only albeit successfully taken two robbers off the street and made those complicit in the incident murderers.

This is terrible. What a gory site

Too bad for this guys

Has anybody heard of this Me2U? Just dial *432# to find out.

this is inhumane, this is lawlessness at the highest order.. when the law enforcement agents fail to act.. the people are bound to take law into their own hands.. RIP TO THE DEAD.. may our loved ones not be victim of armed robbers nor jungle justice Nigeria is a lawless country

This is sad

Sophiticated southerners at it again, they are not different from the savages in stone age
