The deceased, Kweku Issah, who worked with the company as a security officer was found dead in a pool of blood at his duty post.
Mankesim Divisional Police Commander, ACP Owuahene Acheampong, who confirmed the incident to Adom News said the robbers used the main entrance to the company and used a cutter to break open the burglarproof before gaining access to the warehouse.
He said the security man’s hands and legs were tied with rags and some items were stacked in his mouth by the robbers.
