Two suspected armed robbers were this morning apprehended and burnt to death by a mob in Akai Effa, Calabar, Cross River State.
While a resident of the area, who has elected to remain anonymous, says the burning of the suspects is "a response to the audacity of robbers and robbery in the area in recent times, a rather bizarre thing took place before the suspects were burnt to death.
A www.calitown.com reporter who rushed to the scene of the incident reports that the suspects were made to call their families and inform them that they were caught while attempting to rob and are about to be burnt to death by a mob. While the initially showed reluctance to do this, we were further informed that the menacing mob made sure the suspects made the calls before they were set ablaze.
At the Jehovah Witness Junction, Akai Effa, where they were taken to and burnt to death, a thick smoke from the burning was still visible at press time while the police only arrived after the suspects had died.

Bad people

What a sad way to die, No parents really have to bury em child... Born the nos of children you can really cater for nd teach them the right path.
From records most of those criminals re kids raised by d street. I'm sure what they stole can't fetch upto naija minimum wage.
And besides this is a very poor journalism, reporters rushed there nd nt even a single pics nt to talk of a video

U said ur so-called reporter rushed to scene, yet no pictures to prove such eyewitness account. U see your beer parlour career? Don't goan look for work. Keep telling stories exchanged over cups and kettles of burukutu

"jehovah witness junction"...what a better place to die...atleast dem get witness.

Could it they repented at that junction?
Jungle justice is barbaric. This only shows majority are still below human in naija. That's why I'm no longer surprised when police shoot innocent people just because of an argument.
