AN armed robber using a motorcycle met his waterloo at the early hours of Sunday in the oil-rich city of Warri, Delta State, while trying to snatch a handbag from a lady.

The incident occurred at Enemejuwa Junction, off Ometan Road, Warri.

The young man was set ablaze by an irate mob.

According to a witness who gave her name as Celina Agbo, the robbers were about six in number, but luck ran out of one of them after snatching a bag from her victim.

The witnessed said the robber’s legs and hands were bound and tyres wound round his neck before he was bathed with premium motor spirit (petrol) and eventually set ablaze, adding that the remaining five robbers, however, escaped.

Sympathisers were seen at the scene, with some relishing the jungle justice meted out to the knife-carrying marauder.

Delta State government had, on November 1, banned commercial motorcycles from plying major roads in Warri, Asaba and other major towns in the state, owing to high rate of crime by some motorcycle riders.

Residents of the popular town have been groaning under the attendant effects of the policy, forcing several people to trek kilometres to their places of work as a result of over 100 per cent hike in intra-city transportation fares.

Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State police command, DSP Charles Muka, who confirmed the incident to the Nigerian Tribune, enjoined the public to go about their normal businesses, saying that the police were on top of the situation.

Not this kind of news on a monday morning.

Humans are sadists, though at times some of these criminals deserve it. I've been shot at before so I know how it feels.

Meanwhile, our corporate criminals, MTN are at it again, I'm spending this morning alerting everyone www.nairaland.com/1099997/mtn-wow-bonus-confirmed-scam#12927482

Nigerians are indeed frustrated people,in as much I don't. Support jungle justice,these robbers can be a pain in the neck.
This is a case of Newton 3rd law"for every action,there must be an equal,and opposite reaction"

The federal ministry of health has warned that armed robbers are liable to die burnt,beware be warned dont fall a victim

redcliff:

For that singular '3rd to comment statement, your week would be the roughest you ever experienced in your life.. "man kid".

Heeeey! That was too harsh now
The guy is just having fun,how can u utter such words on a fresh week? O ga o!

I get insulted on several occasions in various forums when I condenm this act of jungle justice.. As mch as theft and molestation are nt good for us, jungle justice is even worse. My querry is this, does the president knw the people he is leading hv become this brutal; hw come he ddnt put his weight on the Aluu4 horror an opportunity we as a pp wld hv used 2 bring to an end this menance? Somtime a guy who goes snatching a bag cld b a victim of blackmail and forced to do it to get his freedom frm his blackmailers.. Let us investigate matters and gt 2 d root causes.. A lot of nigerians die innocently. Half the story is never told. One caught and burnt alive hw do u get d odas or knw d crimes they hv comitted in d past? Burning that guy is burning a lead 2 d odas and also wickedness.

@Topic:
1. That's not a Picture of Warri...
I wonder when the police will start arresting and prosecuting people who take laws into their hand.
It is obvious that as a people, we learnt nothing from the Aluu event...
The tears we shed then were mostly crocodile tears...

Omoo nah person be that?shuuuu dis boys fit eat human being sef.choi!

If the West say we are savages, we begin to rant. Just l@@k our actions. He only stole and not killed, for goodness' sake....no matter what happens, life is life even that of a thief!

Na every week dem dey barbecue people for Naija!

But i'm sure people no go too shout for this matter since the thief no be student...

I don't really support the burning of little(unarmed) robbers like this,instead,beat them mercilessly,but when it comes to the armed robbers,they can burn them cos they're armed.
