Two young men were on Wednesday set ablaze for allegedly attempting to rob Point of Sale operators in Enugu State.
According to LindaIkeji, the incident happened at the Independence Layout area, Independence Avenue, Enugu State.
It was reported that that the suspects allegedly tried to rob POS operators in the area and were apprehended by residents.
As the alleged robbers pulled out guns and demanded money, the POS operator reportedly raised the alarm.
The alarm roused the mob, which pursued and apprehended the fleeing men.
The mob were said to have prevented the policemen from taking the culprits after they had set them ablaze.
The incident was condemned by the country director of Global Society for Anti-Corruption, Mrs. Amaka Nweke.
“I condemn what the robbers do to the POS operators but at the same time I condemn mob action. They should have handed them over to the police instead of taking laws into their hands,” she said.
