A terrifying armed robbery incident occurred on the Accra-Assin Fosu road on Saturday, leaving multiple passengers traumatised after their valuables were taken at gunpoint.
The attack happened between Ayeldo and Sekyerew-Nyakumasi Ahenkuro’s deplorable road around 6:30 p.m.
One of the survivors, a sprinter driver with registration number GW-6775-24, shared his harrowing experience: “I slowed down at a pothole between Ayeldo and Sekyerew around 7 p.m., and a man with a torchlight signalled me to stop. As I struggled to open the driver’s door, I heard a gunshot.”
The victims reported being brutally beaten for not having enough money on them.
According to them, the armed robbers made off with a substantial amount of cash, including ¢17,000, ¢12,000, and GH¢1,800. The victims were forced to lie down during the ordeal.
The Abura Aseibu Kwamankese (AAK) District Police patrol team arrived, calmed the situation, and pledged to investigate the robbery thoroughly.
They also assured the public of enhanced security patrols in the area.
