An armed robber left many people in shock after deciding to play dead yesterday morning. The thief who was caught at Etegwe, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State did not wait for people to start assaulting him before he lay flat on the road as he he was dead to the consternation of the crowd.

However, that did not save him as the crowd descended on him for trying to play on their intelligence. The lily-livered thief got the beating of his life as he was jolted from his pretense to reality.
