Two suspected armed robbers are currently under police guard at the Agona Swedru Government Hospital after their taxicab veered off the road on the outskirts of Gomoa Akropong, near Agona Swedru.

According to an eyewitness's account, the suspected robbers were five on board the taxicab but three of them, who sustained minor injuries managed to escape with the booty.

The two robbers sustained serious injuries on their heads, hands and parts of the bodies. The eyewitness said the matter was reported to the Agona Swedru MTTU personnel on duty that morning on the outskirts of Akropong.

According to the nurses at the hospital, one of the two robbers gave his name as Michael Amoah from Bubuashie, in Accra while the other one did not mentioned his name but was suspected to be a Nigerian.

A source at the Swedru Divisional Police Headquarters told the GNA that after a thorough check on the taxicab with registration number GR 8835 R, they found one AK 47 riffle, a pistol, six flashlights, knives, hammers and bullets.

Mr Justice Asante and Mr John Ackom, Swedru Divisional Commander and Crime Officer, respectively, who rushed to the hospital told the GNA that the Police would continue to guard them until they recovered. Meanwhile, investigations were continuing to find out information on the remaining three that escaped.
