Ten armed robbers, at a loss on what to do when their leader was shot during a gun duel with the police, killed him and escaped with their loot at an Nnewi warehouse in Anambra State.
The warehouse, where liquor is stored, belongs to Chief Chidi Ubabuko.
An eyewitness said the robbers had finished robbing the warehouse and were about leaving when policemen arrived and opened fire on them.
The source said when the police were about to overpower them, they asked their leader to use their ‘escape charms’ to enable them disappear as usual, but having being injured, he could not.
The source said to avoid being traced through their injured leader, they shot him dead.
The body could not be identified by the people in the vicinity.
The police command has deposited the body at a morgue in Nnewi. It is investigating the incident.
Robbers have been terrorizing the residents of Onitsha and Owerri road.
Luck ran out of a motorcycle robber recently as residents and traders set him ablaze after a failed attempt to steal a new motorcycle.
