The gallantry of a local vigilante group at Ubiaja, Esan South-East Local Government Area of Edo State, paid off early Sunday morning as the group gunned down a member of a robbery gang and arrested three other members of the gang during an operation.
Tribune Online gathered that the gang of robbers attacked the Ogbeide Medical Centre in Ubiaja and responding to the distress call raised while the robbery operation was going on, the vigilante, led by Chief Oniha, immediately moved to  the scene and engaged the robbers in a gun duel.Â
In the ensuing exchange of gunfire, one of the robbers was killed and three others were arrested.
