The attackers fled with an undisclosed amount at the Frimps Fuel Station after the operation that happened at around 3:00am Sunday, the Police at Kojokrom confirmed to 3news.com.

“They beat him mercilessly with cudgels till he died”, a traumatized attendant recounted.

The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the Effia Nkwanta Hospital Morgue while the police continue with their investigation.
