E/R: Robbers attack passengers; abscond with funeral cash

Notorious Highway robbers operating in Kwahu Afram Plains in the Eastern region on Monday launched another attack on passengers blocking the main Asukese junction road in the morning around 7 am.

They reportedly robbed passengers plying the road from Tease and Fori-Foru. The incident happened at the exact spot a police post has been abandoned to rot over lack of washrooms.

The robbers took away mobile phones, cash and other personal effects of their victims.

One of the victims Agyei Budu Nathan, a radio pastor, said the robbers absconded with his two mobile phones and an amount of GHC 3,200.00 raised to organize funeral for his dead wife at Akyem Osino.

Police Investigation is ongoing.
