We regret to report a recent incident on the Yeji-Kumasi highway, where two armed robbers were engaged in a confrontation with police personnel. Tragically, both robbers were fatally shot during the exchange.
In the aftermath of the confrontation, it has been reported that one of the armed robbers managed to evade capture and is currently at large. The authorities are actively pursuing leads to apprehend the fugitive and bring them to justice.
Furthermore, two other individuals involved in the criminal activity sustained severe gunshot wounds and are currently receiving urgent medical attention at the St. Mathias Catholic Hospital in Yeji. Their condition is described as critical, and our thoughts are with them and their families during this difficult time.
This unsettling incident took place on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, and serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement officers and the impact of criminal activities on our communities.
We extend our gratitude to the brave police personnel who put themselves in harm's way to protect the public and address this threat. The authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into the events that transpired, and we remain hopeful that measures will be taken to prevent such occurrences in the future.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by this distressing event, and we urge anyone with information related to the incident to come forward and assist the authorities in their efforts to ensure safety and security for all.
