“On sensing the villagers and the security, four of them jumped into the bus they came with and escaped.

“The second bus was about escaping with the remaining three when the youths pursued them and one of the vigilante shot at the tire of the vehicle.

“While the suspects jumped down to escape into the nearby bushes, the security operatives shot one of them and set him ablaze, while other two escaped.”

Meanwhile, the five shops in Awka were reportedly raised when a cooking gas cylinder exploded at a cooking gas refilling retailer’s shop at Ifite road.

Confirming the incident, State Fire Chief, Engr Martin Agbili said no life was lost in the inferno, saying his men and fire truck were immediately deployed to the fire scene.

“About five shops with their items were badly affected by the fire while a lot of buildings around the fire scene were saved.

“There was no loss of life as we were able to fight, control and extinguish the fire,” he said.
