“On receiving the distress call, the military and police set out to the location.
“However, on getting to the scene, some angry locals had already mobbed the bandits and burnt them to ashes.”
Aruwan further stated that on Thursday night, armed bandits opened fire on motorists plying the Aboro-Kafanchan Road, saying, “The bullets hit one Richard Sabo who in the course of driving knocked down one of the bandits to death.
“Sadly, Mr Sabo, who suffered bullet wounds, was confirmed dead at Gwantu General Hospital.”
In Lere LGA, Aruwan stated that security agencies reported that bandits from a neighbouring state who specialised in stealing livestock were also killed through mob action, adding that they were chased and overpowered at Domawa village where three of them met their end in the hands of a mob.
