Two
notorious robbers who attempted to escape with their loot after robbing
a boutique owner in Port Harcourt earlier today, met their Waterloo as
angry mob heavily descended on them.
Two robbers that robbed a woman who owns a boutique in the
Trans-Amadi area of Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital, and
attempted to escape with their loot, met their Waterloo as they were
caught by angry mob.
Below is how the story was shared online by an eye witness;
"I was on my way to Wema Bank on trans amadi road Port Harcourt
around 11am today. Suddenly, i spotted a crowd gathered in front of a
shop close to Mother-cat bus stop.
In their mist were two guys on the ground who appeared pummeled. I gathered that they were thieves that just robbed a female
boutique owner in her shop along the same trans amadi road.
They escaped with their loot (in the that plastic bag beside
the thief lying on the ground) with their bike but were caught by some
mobile police men. One man amongst the crowd identified one of the
thieves (the one sitting on the ground) as a notorious criminal who
operates around rumuokoro axis.
On interrogation, they said they were poor and jobless."
