The alleged robbers were burnt to death at MCC Junction, beside Conoil Filling Station, along Enugu/Onitsha highway on Wednesday, January 19.
According to Nigerian Tribune, the suspects came on a motorcycle, allegedly robbed some residents in Awada of undisclosed amount of money, phones and other items and shot sporadically in the air to scare people before escaping.
However, they were given a hot chase and were nabbed after the MCC Junction.
