A tragic robbery attack has claimed the life of a driver’s mate along the Anyinasuso-Sakam road in the Offinso South Municipality of the Ashanti Region. The incident happened on the evening of Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
According to pulse.com.gh, the attack involved three armed men. Two of them pretended to be passengers trying to board a commercial minibus. As the driver’s mate approached them, a third man, armed with a gun, suddenly emerged from the bushes and opened fire, killing him on the spot.
Reports say the robbers took away a sack the driver had collected earlier from Wenchi. After the robbery, they fired warning shots and escaped before police could arrive.
Mr. Ibrahim Yogo, the Assembly Member for Anyinasuso, confirmed the incident.
“I alerted the police when we heard gunshots. They rushed to the scene, but the robbers had already run away,” he told the media. “This is the first time such a thing has happened here.”
