By Christian Ogoh

Two suspected notorious armed robbers who specialise in robbing POS stands in Owa and its environs have narrowly escaped being set ablaze by some irate youths at Boji Boji Owa in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to an eye witness, the two miscreants ran out of luck when they were trying to carry out their nefarious activities at a certain POS post at the Efezormor Street by Owa-nta.

It was said that the POS operator started shouting for help, which alerted some passersby who put up a frantic fight with the duo until the miscreants who tried to escape on a motor bike lost control and fell into a nearby open gutter.

It was also said that in their possession was a cut to size locally made gun and some other harmful objects which they allegedly used to threaten their victims.

The two alleged criminals were mercilessly beaten up and but for the intervention of the Owa youth security operatives, they would have been burnt alive.

According to sources close to the men of the Nigerian Police Force, the two alleged robbers were currently in their custody and that upon interrogation, they confessed their involvement in the killing of a certain lady whose fiance operated a POS at the Deeper Life Road in December 2021. 

It was reported that the deceased lady, who was an up coming actress, had refused to part with a bag containing some amount of money before she was shot on the chest.

It was also revealed that they were alleged to have been behind series of robberies that occurred at some  drinking bars in Ika Land.
