They violently assaulted, seized monies, cellular phones and other valuables from the victims.Superintendent Enorh said travellers on three other vehicles that emerged at the scene also suffered the same fate.The robbers fled after the attack and no arrest had been made.The Commander said the police would do everything to arrest and bring the criminals to justice.
