Ashanti Region: 37-year-old taxi driver shot dead by suspected armed robbers

A
37-year-old
taxi
driver
who
has
been
identified
as
Amos
Adusei
has
been
shot
dead
by
alleged
armed
robbers
on
the
Kwaman-Boaman
road
in
the
Afigya
Kwabre
North
district
of
the
Ashanti
region.

The
incident
which
happened
on
Saturday
night,
has
left
residents
in
a
state
of
shock.

According
to
residents,
although
the
community
has
recorded
several
robbery
incidents,
this
is
the
first
time
a
victim
has
been
shot
dead.

The
Assembly
member
for
the
Ahenkro
electoral
area,
Isaac
Adusei,
who
is
also
the
brother
of
the
deceased,
confirmed
the
incident
to

Citi
News
.

He
noted
that
the
body
of
the
deceased
had
been
deposited
at
the
morgue
while
the
police
had
begun
investigations
into
the
matter.

“It
was
yesterday
[Sunday]
around
11.15
that
I
had
a
call
from
a
colleague
that
my
brother
had
an
accident
on
the
Kwaman-Boaman
road.
So
when
I
got
there,
it
was
not
a
mere
accident,
it
was
a
gunshot.
The
armed
robbers
attacked
him
and
so
we
took
him
to
the
hospital.

“The
police
came
to
our
house
and
did
their
report.
They
came
to
our
house
yesterday
[Sunday]
and
they
went
to
the
body
at
the
mortuary
and
they
said
they
would
do
the
postmortem
today
at
around
10
am.
So
after
the
postmortem,
then
they
will
hand
[the
body]
to
the
family.”
