Driver, mate escape death after armed robbery attack on Bibiani-Goaso road

Mohammed Yakubu was driving a blue-black Mitsubishi cargo truck with registration number AW 621-12 from Akodie towards Kumasi when the incident occurred. The attackers had blocked the road between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and opened fire as the truck approached, hitting the driver in the abdomen.
Sampson Dwumah told Adom News that the mate rushed to a nearby community to raise the alarm, prompting residents to respond quickly and transport the victim on a tricycle to the Bibiani Government Hospital for emergency treatment. Residents of Sereso say they are living in fear due to repeated armed robbery incidents along the stretch and are calling on the Inspector General of Police to deploy regular checkpoints to improve security.
