Manhunt for killer robbers

THE ASHANTI Regional Police Command are hunting for some unknown robbers, who infamously shot and killed two people and injured one other during a robbery operation.

“We wish to assure the family and the public that the Police are pursuing the perpetrators and will surely get them arrested to face justice”, the police said in a press release.

The runaway miscreants, reportedly, attacked and robbed a family of three along the Ejura-Nkwanta-Nyinase road in the Ashanti region on October 31, 2022.

During the operation, the hoodlums ‘wickedly’ shot two of their victims, who are all males. One died at the robbery spot and the other also died at the hospital later on.

The third victim, who also suffered gunshot wounds, luckily, survived the violent attack. Police disclosed that he has since been treated and discharged to the house.

During the fierce attack, the unknown robbers, without provocation, wickedly shot three people at close range and they fled the scene with an unspecified amount of money.

“One of the victims, identified as Kipo Sumaila, gave up the ghost right at the scene of the robbery operation”, ASP Godwin Ahianyo, Police PRO for Ashanti Region, said.

He added that “The two other victims, Ibrahim Iddrisu and Masawudu Sumaila, who also sustained gunshot wounds, were rushed to the hospital for immediate attention.

“Victim Ibrahim Iddrisu died while receiving treatment, while Masawudu Sumaila has been treated and discharged”, noting that police are on the heels of the robbers.
