The robbery incident happened Thursday evening at about 10 pm in Buokrom at the entrance of the victim’s house while returning home from work.

According to a staff of Joeshob construction firm, the robbers numbering about two laid siege at the entrance of the victim’s house and asked him to step down from his vehicle at gunpoint.

He explained that ”in the process, he was shot from the screen hitting his head and quickly pulled him down from the vehicle and drove away from the Toyota Prado Land Cruiser with registration number GS: 4031-20,” he narrated.

He added “with the support of his family and other neighbours he was quickly rushed to the Komfo Anokye teaching hospital where he is currently receiving medical attention in a life-threatening condition. Currently, he can’t speak we are hoping he will survive.”
