The agent, identified only as Nuhu, was assaulted around 7:00 pm on Thursday, August 2024.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to Adom News, the attack took place just as workers of the firm had finished their day’s work and were preparing to leave.

The robbers shot the gold dealer in both legs, before shooting a second victim.
The victims are currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
