Three suspected armed robbers including a mechanic have lost their lives after their car skidded off the popular Eko Bridge on Lagos Island yesterday, October 9.
It was learnt that the suspected robbers were fleeing with the stolen car which they snatched at gunpoint when the driver lost control of the car. The vehicle skidded off the bridge and fell on the mechanic, who also died instantly.
One of the suspected robbers escaped while the other, who sustained serious injuries, was rushed to the hospital by the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS). Their bodies were handed over to the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SEHMU) and were subsequently taken to the mortuary while the vehicle was towed to Denton Police Station, Ebute-Metta.
One of those died among the suspected robbers was identified as Nwamba. Items recovered from the vehicle included a locally-made doublebarrelled pistol with five live cartridges; a laptop; a handset and a dollar note.
