“They engaged the police man in a Rambo style gun battle as one of them made away with the money but was unfortunately hit by a bullet from the police’s AK47 and died on the spot,” he narrated.
According to Alhaji Masawudu, the death of one of the robbers did not deter the other who continuously fired shots while running with the money from which he got only GH¢ 2,500 back.
“He took the money from his accomplice and while bolting, the money scattered around people. The robber was knocked down by a motorbike but struggled to get hold of someone’s vehicle to run and got involved in an accident,” he added.
He further explained the second robber was arrested and sent to the Tema Harbour Police station where police footage disclosed they had been involved in similar incident but he died during interrogations.
