Robbbers Kill Mobile Money Vendor

SOME UNKNOWN trigger-happy gunmen have shot and killed a mobile money vendor and made away with his sales for the day.

The disheartening incident happened over the weekend at New Kyeraase in the Affigya Kwabre District in the Ashanti region.

The deceased, who was identified as Richmond Ofori, 31, was at his base doing his business when the fiendish-looking goons arrived.

The fully-armed hoodlums aimed their guns at him and pulled the trigger, killing him instantly, before and bolting with his money.

Ofori, who was shot twice in the chest area, was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) but he was declared dead on arrival.

One Malik Ezekiel, 25, a close friend of Ofori, who was at the scene during the attack, also sustained wounds and he is on admission.

Sources told the paper that the robbers arrived on a motorbike and fired straight at Ofori, who appeared to have been their main target.

The matter was reported to the police but before they could arrive at the scene, the bandits had already left with their booty.

The lifeless body of Ofori had since been deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) morgue as police have intensified investigations to arrest the culprits.
