Suspected armed robbers have allegedly strangled a driver’s mate to death.
The alleged killing took place at Oborpah in the Upper Manya Krobo Municipality of the Eastern region of Ghana.
African Entertainment gathered that the three armed robbers tied the deceased’s hands and legs together during the robbery at a filling station.
An anonymous police source told the media that the driver’s mate was mistaken for a security man on duty at Safety Fuel filling station.
The driver’s mate, information available to African Entertainment points out, was sleeping under a truck parked at the Safety Fuel filling station when he was mistaken for a security man on duty.
Aside killing the driver’s mate, the armed robbers allegedly attacked two separate filling stations during their operation and made away with a cash amount of GHC21,000.
They are alleged to have first attacked the Safety Fuel filling station and bolted with GHC16,040 after they threatened the attendants on duty.
After that, they attacked the Pacific Filling station which is about 150 metres from Safety Fuel filling station and few metres from a Police checkpoint on the Odumase Krobo-Asesewa Highway.
At Pacific station, the robbers allegedly made away with GHC4,886.00. They succeeded in robbing Pacific after threatening to shoot Samuel Mensah, a 23-year-old supervisor.
