Two men were set ablaze by a mob shortly after they allegedly robbed a bank customer in Abia state.

The suspects were allegedly caught on Wednesday morning after they waylaid a customer near a bank at Abayi, Aba, Abia State. They had allegedly been waiting on their bike and as soon as the customer left the bank, they snatched the bag of money and escaped.

But they were caught before they could go far and were set ablaze alongside their motorcycle.
