Six suspected armed robbers have attacked and robbed several passengers of their monies and other valuables when they were returning from the Funsi market in the Wa East District to Tumu.
The victims told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) hours after the attack that they were also beaten for not having enough money while the driver and other occupants of the front seat were shot.
Mr Kantong said, “the other passenger sitting in the front also had his hand damaged by the bullets before they took all our phones and every penny on us and made all of us lie down.”
He appealed to the communities along the robbery area to see if they found their Ghana cards, health insurance cards, driver’s license, and other documents that were taken away.
One of the over 40 market women who were also robbed said everything was taken away from her and that the attackers also hit her with sticks.
Two other Kia trucks that were returning from Funsi and Kojikperi markets were also robbed, including other trucks that were returning from Ouagadougou with several motorcycles.
Mr Gbele also admonished all drivers driving to seek police escorts irrespective of where they were going since there are enough police officers to protect the people.
