Armed robbers who were desperately trying to get away fast after a robbery have suffered a tragic fate.
 
It was pure nemesis that caught up with five robbery suspects on Sunday in Lagos.
The robbers were trying to escape when their get-away car skidded 
off Eko Bridge by Iddo, while in flight, killing three of the suspects 
and one innocent bystander, a man who the car fell on.
According to Vanguard, it was gathered that two of the suspects 
sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital, while the dead bodies

pm. General Manager of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, 
LASEMA, Mr. Adesina Tiamiyu, who confirmed the incident, said 
preliminary investigation revealed that the occupants in the car could 
be robbers as several dangerous weapons were recovered from the car.
According to Tiamiyu, “the agency received a distress call regarding a lone accident at Iddo Bridge at 2.15p.m. yesterday. 
“On arrival at the scene of the incident, the Emergency 
Response Team, ERT, of the agency discovered a grey-coloured Hyundai ix 
35 with number plates SMK 485 CM, which skidded off the Eko Bridge by 
Iddo Terminus and fell on a man, who died immediately. 
“Three of the suspected robbers died immediately, one escaped 
with injuries, while the fifth was taken to the hospital by Lagos State 
Ambulance Service, LASAMBUS. 
“The dead bodies, three suspected armed robbers and one other 
person identified as a mechanic named Nwamba, were handed over to State 
Environmental Health Monitoring Unit, SEHMU, and were subsequently taken
 to the mortuary, while the vehicle was towed to Denton Police Station, 
Ebute Meta, by the agency.” 
According LASEMA boss, items found on the victims include one 
locally-made double-barrelled pistol with five live cartridges, one 
laptop, mobile phones and a dollar note.

proper investigation.
