Two armed men on a motorbike reportedly robbed a Forex Bureau of approximately GH¢400,000.
The incident occurred around Amanfro Top Town in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, according to sources from Citi News.
Alhaji Mumuni, the owner of the Forex Bureau and a gold dealer, mentioned that the suspects had been monitoring their movements from Kasoa Zongo before robbing them at Amanfro Top Town, where the business operates.
Alhaji Mumuni recounted how the entire incident took place.
“We received a call from a client in Amanfro, so we decided to meet them. While we were on our way, we noticed two people on motorbikes, but we didn’t pay much attention.”
“As we approached our destination, the two men on the motorbike attacked us and demanded the money in the bag. My other brother resisted, but one of the robbers insisted and pulled out a gun, firing a warning shot.”
“With no other choice, my brother handed over the bag to the robbers. In the bag, we had about four hundred thousand cedis, including some foreign currency,” he narrated.
According to him, they have reported the case to the Ngleshie Amanfro Police, and they have visited the scene to commence the investigation.
Eyewitness Jonathan Essel stated that, although they initially considered intervening, the armed robbers were carrying guns, which deterred them from taking any action.
“After the robbers took the bags, one of them claimed to be a police officer, and they were armed, making it difficult for us to confront them. There were two guys on a motorbike, and it had no number plate,” Jonathan Essel added.
