Unknown assailants suspected of being armed robbers shot and killed a security guard at the Mobik Energy Fuel Filling Station on the Tarkwa-Banso road in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality.
Haruna Iddrisu, the deceased, was on routine patrol when the suspects, dressed in jackets with hoods and caps, stormed the premises and allegedly shot him to death.
The incident occurred around two o’clock in the morning on Monday, December 5, 2022.
According to the source, after the act, the suspects hid the deceased’s body in the back of the fuel station and broke into five different rooms where some of the company’s employees had retired to bed after work.
The suspects allegedly assaulted some of the workers, stole approximately GHC 22,0000 in cash, and attempted but failed to open a money safe before fleeing.
According to the source, the police were notified and went to the scene to examine the body.
The body has since been placed in the morgue of the Apinto Government Hospital for preservation and autopsy.
Tarkwa Police have invited some of the workers to assist with investigations.
