The gang chased the defenceless workers in darkness and shot two workers and a customer at close range.

Margaret was shot in the upper chest, and  Kwame in the thigh.

One of the victims in an account to the KNUST police said, it was a near-death experience.

“I was on phone and I heard the thing [gunshot]  so we were thinking that may it’s a  knock-out[fire crackers]. And then the second one came; then people started running-they were running for their life. Then when the third one came, it was just infront of them. Then one guy broke into our room and gave a warning shot.”
