An undisclosed sum of money was taken by armed robbers who targeted a gold-buying agent at Odumasi in the Asante Akyem Central district.
The agent, known only as Nuhu, was attacked on Thursday, August 20, 2024, around 7:00 p.m.
An eyewitness said that the attack happened right as the company’s employees were about to leave after finishing their workday.
The eyewitness reported that, the robbers numbering over 10 were disguised in a white nose mask.
They reportedly fired several warning shots sporadically and demanded money from one of the gold dealers.
The robbers shot the gold dealer in both legs, before shooting a second victim.
The victims are currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
Police from Asante Akyem Central rushed to the crime scene upon receiving the call, by which time the robbers had already fled the scene.
