The robbers were able to rob a mobile money vendor named Miftawu Mohammed of an undisclosed amount and bolted with the booty.
Three of the robbers escaped but luck, however, eluded the deceased when his motorbike failed to move after the robbery, enabling residents to pounce on him and beat him severely.
The deceased was pushed into a nearby gutter and burnt by the residents.
However, the police have commenced investigations into the matter to arrest community members who took the laws into their own hands as well as arresting the suspected robbers who escaped.
