A suspected armed robber symply identifed as Emmanuel has been beaten to death at Ayede-Ogbese community, in Akure north local government area of Ondo state.
Emmanuel, who has reportedly been terrorising the community, was apprehended and mobbed to death by angry residents on Sunday.
It was gathered that Emmanuel was caught when he was trying to escaped with the four motorcycles he had earlier snatched from his victims in the area.
According to an eyewitness who spoke on the condition of anonymity:
“luck ran against him when the truck he is using to carry the stolen items broke down around the community.”
“The robber known as Emmanuel by name has been convicted before. Ever since he returned from prison, the community has never been at peace, as he terrorised residents heartlessly.”
“We have been looking for him for a long time, before he met his death today,”
