Narrating his ordeal to the GNA, Mr Bediako said the incident happened on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, between 1630 and 1700 hours.

According to him, the fully armed robbers, about five in number, had targeted market women and traders who were returning from Drobo and Sampa to Berekum and Sunyani at the Fetentaa portion of the stretch, near the Fetentaa Refugee camp in the Berekum West District.

“They just appeared from the shoulder of the stretch, fired gunshots sporadically and signalling us to stop. They even hit and broke my windscreen with lumber, however, we managed to speed off from the terrible scene,” he said.

In the process of the attack, Mr Bediako said the engine of the vehicle of his other colleague DCE broke down, but they all managed to escape the robbery scene unhurt.

“We quickly rang the police and signalled all the vehicles which were coming from the opposite directions. Sensing danger, the robbers fled into the bush,” Mr Bediako said.
