One shot dead, another injured after 13 armed robbers confronted Police

13 armed robbers assaulted two police officers at Duayaw Nkwanta in the Tano North District of Bono Region to free two criminals.

According to a police situational report, 15 machete-wielding hoodlums attacked Adrobaa residents and shops, including the chief, wounding some residents.

After hearing about the attacks, Police Corporal Philip Sion and Constable Bernard Amoah arrived. They saw the machete-wielding youths speeding toward Terchire on their way to Adrobaa.

They tried to stop the men, but disobeyed.

Two of them were caught by the police near Terchire Police Station.

Minutes later, their 13 coworkers demanded their release, which the police refused.

When they fought the robbers, Corporal Philip Sion shot one of them. A club hit his back. While Constable Bernard Amoah fought the others, he was brutally beaten.

The Police sought refuge at the Terchire Health Center. A District Command reinforcement team searched local hospitals and found Bilari Fuseini receiving treatment and Mutakiro Fuseini dead.

The remaining suspects are being hunted.
