Two Female Robbers Get Lynched In Aba

Two female members of a robbery gang
that had been terrorizing Iheorji axis of
Aba in Abia State  area were lynched to
death last weekend. DailySun reports
that the angry residents of the area
killed the two girls, whose robbery gang
had been giving them sleepless nights.
According to a resident, who would not
want his name in print, for fear of
attacks, no night passed without armed
robbers operating in their area for at
times, up to three hours unchallenged.
He recalled that in the early hours of
Wednesday, last week, motorcycles as
usual, invaded the area, broke into a
building and shot sporadically,
wounding a 15-year-old-boy in the
process. They were said to have robbed
the occupants of the house and the
neighbours of cash and other valuable
items.
“The armed robbers operated for over
three hours unchallenged and because
of the gunshots we heard, we ran into
the nearby bush where we stayed till
morning and this has continued,” he
said.
The following day, the robbers struck
again and attacked a building not far
from that of the previous night’s
operation and wounded a teacher on
the leg and he has been hospitalised.
“For over three weeks, we have not
been sleeping in our houses because
the robbers now come on daily basis
and nobody is challenging them. We, on
our own arranged for private security
guards who we pay monthly, but the
robbers overpowered them because of
their superior fire power.”
And on that fateful day, the two young
women came in company with their
male counterparts to rob as usual, but
unknown to them, youths of the area
and the private security guards had laid
ambush for them.
When the youths attacked them as they
approached, the surprised male gang
members escaped leaving the two girls
behind.
And trust Aba people, I grew up there,
the two ladies were lynched
immediately.
