Suspected armed robbers attack mobile money vendors in Hamile

Two mobile money vendors were attacked and robbed of their possessions by five suspected armed robbers at Hamile, in the Upper West Region on Saturday about 10:30 pm.

The suspected armed robbers attacked and robbed their victims of GH¢90,000 and GH¢60,000 respectively and made away with a number of recharge scratch cards.

“I was inside the house when I heard loud noise. I rushed out only to see some men with rifles firing into the air.

“The shots fired unfortunately caught up with two innocent residents who were around the scene. One got hit at the back and the other in the leg.

“This act put so much fear in us so we couldn’t make any attempt to approach them.” an eye witness recounted.

Retrieved from the scene of the attacks were five spent shells fired from an AK 47 rifle.

However, most of the residents of Hamile were complaining about the military detachments and the purpose of their presence in the town if such attacks are still carried out.

The victims are currently receiving treatment at the Nandom  Hospital.
