According to reports, the suspects had dispossessed a Hausa trader of his valuables on top of the popular Osupa bridge, after pretending to be a cab driver and passengers.

 

 

The unsuspecting victim had boarded the cab along the expressway, but was forced to surrender his belongings after a few minutes of driving.

“The armed robbers had already collected the trader’s money but the motorcyclists behind them discovered that they were arguing in the car.

So they were following them gradually. The suspects were three in number. There was a lady among them who narrowly escaped. She jumped out from the car,” the eyewitness said.

The suspects were eventually caught by the mob, beaten severely and then set ablaze, as residents vented their anger and frustration.
