A group of six suspected armed robbers launched a terrifying attack on multiple passengers travelling along the Accra-Assin Fosu road on Saturday evening.
The incident took place between Ayeldo and Sekyerew-Nyakumasi Ahenkuro, an area notorious for its poor road conditions, around 6:30 p.m.
According to victims, the robbers not only stole money, phones, and other valuables but also resorted to brutal violence, beating those who couldn’t produce enough cash. One victim, a sprinter driver with registration number GW-6775-24, recounted the horrifying events, stating that as he approached a pothole in the dimming light, a man with a torchlight flagged him down to stop. “As I struggled to open the driver’s door, I heard a gunshot,” he said, recalling the terrifying moment.

The robbers made off with significant sums of money, including ¢17,000, ¢12,000, and GH¢1,800, according to some victims. After the robbery, the assailants forced their victims to lie down on the roadside, further heightening the sense of fear and helplessness during the attack.
The Abura Aseibu Kwamankese (AAK) District Police patrol team responded to the scene shortly after the robbery, calming the situation and pledging to investigate the matter thoroughly. The police also assured the public of increased security patrols along the route to prevent further attacks.
The incident has raised concerns about the security of travellers along the Accra-Assin Fosu road, with many calling for urgent action to address the rise in armed robberies in the area.
