TWO passenger vehicles, a Yutong bus and a Blue Bird, were attacked by armed robbers at a spot between Dawadawa No 1. and Atta Akuraa on the Kintampo-Tamale road in the Brong Ahafo Region on Saturday.
Numbering about seven, the armed robbers allegedly took away GH¢ 3,000.00 from a co-driver of the Yutong bus and an unspecified amount from the passengers as well as their mobile phones and other items.
They are also alleged to have collected GH¢800.00 and a mobile phone from Daniel Marfo, the driver of the Blue Bird vehicle and GH¢200.00 from a woman on the bus.
Confirming the incident to the Daily Graphic, the Kintampo Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent Desmond Owusu Boampong, said the robbers became furious when the Yutong bus driver attempted to bypass the Blue Bird vehicle which they had stopped so they shot at the vehicle, injuring one passenger who is now on admission at the Kintampo Government Hospital.
Superintendent Boampong said the police had begun investigations into the incident.
