A 27-year-old popular Galamsey site foreman has been shot dead while returning home from a Galamsey site at Wassa Wantram in the Wassa Akropong Municipality of the Western Region.
Report gathered indicates that the victim, identified as Bernard Nti was returning home with his four workers when unknown persons suspected to be armed robbers attacked and shot him.
The victim and his workers were said to have had gold on them after the day’s work when the incident happened.
The others were left unhurt, but the gold and the deceased’s mobile phones were taken away by the armed robbers.
Speaking in an interview with Kasapa News, Yaw Boyo the Father of the deceased said he suspected a foul play because he didn’t understand why his son was the only person who was attacked and shot dead while his workers were left unharmed.
According to him, he spoke to his late son on the phone one hour before his death, adding that where he was shot is a few meters away from his house.
The father is calling for the immediate arrest of his son’s workers who were with him when he was shot as nobody has been arrested several days after the incident was reported to the Police.
The deceased has since been deposited at Ajumako Mando Etuafoa mortuary.
