Two Nigerian men have landed in trouble for daylight
robbery near the presidential palace in Ghana. The two suspected robbers who
have been apprehended - reportedly deflated the tyres of their victim at the
Flagstaff House traffic light and snatched GH¢6,000 (about N600,000) he had
withdrawn from a bank at Osu.
According to sources, the daylight robbery reportedly
occurred on Wednesday, 14th June afternoon. The two suspects,
Ndubueze Odoemenam and Chiokoko Amadie, according to the Cantonment Divisional
Commander, ACP Winfred Frimpong, trailed their victim from a bank in Osu.
The police said the victim stopped at the traffic light
at Flagstaff House but suddenly realised that he had a flat tyre when the green
light came on.
The victim, the police said, pulled over to the side to
check what happened. Just as the victim got down to check the fault, two guys
on a motorbike zoomed past him and snatched the money he had withdrawn together
with the envelope. ACP Frimpong said another motor bike rider pursued the
robbers and hit the one ridding the bike with his helmet leading to an accident
at 37 Military Hospital.
The accident reportedly caused the money to spread on the
road attracting commuters, some of whom began to mete instance justice on the
three riders.
They were, however, saved by ASP Nanka Bruce, who was
returning from a duty point.
GH¢5,250 out of the GH¢6,000 belonging to the victim was
also retrieved
