The four suspected armed robbers that were served jungle justice at Jibowu area of Lagos State have died.
The Nation gathered that the suspects – Ahmed Fatai, Rafiu Mogaji,
Godwin Uzong and Bayo Kadiri died on Tuesday night at the Onipanu Police
Station.
They were said to have died after bleeding for over four hours from
bullet wounds and other injuries sustained as a result of the mob attack
on them.
The suspects, who were said to have earlier robbed a woman identified
as Onchris around Ilupeju and dispossessed her of N400, 000 and
telephone, proceeded to Jibowu where they attacked a Diamond Bank
customer, Ms. Joy Oroh and snatched her handbag containing N200,000.
They reportedly shot Ms. Oroh on her thigh before collecting the money
she had withdrawn to foot the hospital bill of a sibling admitted at
the Infectious Disease Centre (IDH), Mainland Hospital, Yaba.
But unfortunately for the gang which also shot a motorcyclist who
chased them, a mobile policeman on bank guard on Morocco Road reportedly
opened fire on them, demobilising them.
It was gathered that while their rider escaped with gunshot wounds,
the other four were not so lucky as bystanders caught up with them and
had them severely beaten.
The suspects, who were bleeding were hit by bottles and other dangerous objects by the angry mob, who wanted to kill them.
A security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The
Nation that the victims bled to death, adding that their corpses were
taken to Ikorodu around 8:00pm on Tuesday.
