A friend sent me these pictures of two armed robbers who were this afternoon (23/12/16) burnt in their operational vehicle in Obudu, Cross River State. According to him, they had gone to rob a store around the market area and were about driving off when the brother to the store owner ran out after them and held onto the steer wheel from outside. The driver in a bid to accelerate , lost control and ran into the open roadside drainage.

Onlookers now seized the opportunity to pounce on them. One was fortunate to escape, while the cops were able to save one. But [un]fortunately, two were roasted beyond recognition.

It should be noted also that this is the first time something like this is happening in the town. According to him, there have been an increased spate of armed robbery in the town for months now, almost on a daily basis. I guess the people have had enough and were looking for escape goats. . No Christmas for them
