We are deeply saddened to report on a harrowing incident that occurred in Ampofokrom near Jacobu, Ashanti Region. According to a report by MyNewsGh.com, miners in the area fell victim to a robbery orchestrated by masked assailants, resulting in a significant loss of property and a serious injury.
The perpetrators, armed with pump-action guns, made off with a sum of Ghc 15,700.00, a Techno Spark 10 mobile phone valued at Ghc 1,400.00, and an unregistered shadow motorbike of yet unknown value. The brazen attack left one miner, Prince Amaniapong, injured after being shot in the back, requiring urgent medical attention at St. Peter’s Catholic Hospital Jacobu, where he remains hospitalized.
In response to this disturbing incident, authorities have taken swift action. The police have visited the victim at the hospital and issued a medical form for endorsement upon discharge. Additionally, efforts are underway to apprehend the perpetrators, with plans in motion to visit the crime scene in Ampofokrom near Jacobu.
The community has been deeply affected by this violent act, and residents are understandably concerned about their safety and security in the wake of the attack on the miners. Our thoughts are with the victims, and we hope for a swift recovery for Prince Amaniapong.
We urge anyone with information related to this incident to come forward and assist the authorities in their efforts to bring those responsible to justice. Acts of violence such as this have no place in any community, and it is essential that we work together to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
