The Obuasi Police gunned down 2 suspected armed robbers

The Obuasi Divisional Police Patrol team on Wednesday, 10 March 2021, gunned down two suspected armed robbers at Akonfokrom near Mile 9 in the Obuasi Municipality of the Ashanti region. 

This was disclosed by the PRO of the Ashanti regional police command, ASP Godwin Ahianyo at a press conference held on Thursday, 11 March 2021.

According to the police, at about 5.10 pm on that day, it “had a tip-off that some armed robbers had been spotted along the Obuasi Mile 9 road on suspicion of carrying out a robbery attack.”

The police stated: “A patrol team proceeded to the area and on reaching the outskirt of Akonfokrom, near Mile 9, three young men armed with guns emerged from the bush and started firing towards the patrol team or the patrol vehicle”.

“The police, in self-defence, returned fire and in the process, two of the armed robbers lost their lives through gunshot. The third person, however, managed to escape.”

An on-the-spot check by the police revealed one AK47 assault rifle with serial number K0237016 with five empty shells and one locally-manufactured single-barrel gun.

The police also found four mobile phones on the deceased.

The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the Obuasi Hospital Morgue pending identification and autopsy.
