…As Thunder Wrecks Harvoc On Properties

From Ameachi Prosper (The New Diplomat’s Delta Correspondent)

Two suspected armed robbers ran out of luck on Thursday as they were burnt to death by angry mob in Effurun, Uvwie LGA, Delta State.

The New Diplomat gathered that the suspected armed robbers were believed to be among a 3-man gang operating in commercial tricycles (keke), known as ‘Awala boys’ terrorizing Uvwie and Warri  environs.

One of the suspects was said to have luckily escaped the jungle justice of the angry mob while two were not so lucky.

It was further gathered that the suspected hoodlums had unleashed terror on law-abiding individuals including a lady who operates a POS in Effurun area.

“They were also said to have severely stabbed another young lady after dispossessing her of valuables to the annoyance of the angry mob who gave them a hot chase with the cooperation of other keke riders.

“The hoodlums ran out of luck when they could not scale through the traffic hold up at Refinery Junction, by Effurun-Sapele road caused by the traffic lights.” A source revealed.

It was however, alleged that an AK 47 with other ammunitions were found in their possession when they were caught at about 10: 00 am.

After getting hold of the armed robbers, the angry mob thereafter set them ablaze.

In a related development, tragedy struck in Warri metropolis as goods and properties worth millions of naira were destroyed by a thunder following a heavy down pour.

Though no life was lost, but the service systems of a popular commercial bank and a fuel station as well as scores of electric poles and electronic appliances were completely destroyed by the thunder.

The said commercial bank and a fuel station were closed for business just as some residents and owners of business outfits were seen lamenting the effects of the thunder strike on their goods and properties.

Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State command, DSP Onoveakpoyeye confirmed the incidents to newsmen saying the police is already investigating the incidents.
