One of the victims, who narrated the incident to Accra-based Joy FM said “we were from Bonsu to Kumasi and along the way, we heard a loud noise so we stopped thinking that some items had dropped from our vehicle.“As soon as we stopped, one of the robbers fired a gun into the driver’s windscreen, hitting him and some of the passengers. They then entered the vehicle and robbed us of our belongings.”Another victim recounted “all I saw was a bullet hitting the driver, myself and two other. They then asked as to lie on the road and took away all our monies. I’m a trader. They took about 1,700 cedis from me.”

Confirming the incident, Juaboso Station Officer, Chief Inspector Gabriel Nanewotor said the victims are receiving treatment at the SDA Hospital.
