The incident occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning around Wuse market, in Abuja. Three armed robbers had tried to snatch the car you see above but the owner of the car struggled with them, in the process lost control of the car. He was shot at but survived. The robbers then tried to escape but the attempted robbery and accident had attracted a mob, who chased the robbers, despite being fired at, until they were caught. Fortunately for the robbers, the police arrived on the scene before the mob could unleash jungle justice. Witnesses say the robbers would have been burnt alive if the police hadn't intervened.
Police and EFCC ID cards were recovered from the robbers.
