A lone ranger police lance corporal, has shot and killed two suspected armed robbers, who were said to have exchanged fire at Asankare in the Ashanti region, during the Easter festivity.
The robbers, armed with a pump action gun and a pistol were said to have stormed the offices of a licensed cocoa buying company, and took away an amount of about Gh¢580,000, meant for workers salary.
The purchasing clerk of the company had just returned from the bank with the money and was about to pay the workers, when the robbers stormed the place, riding a motorbike, according to the police.
The Konongo Divisional Police Commander, Superintendent Ohene Boadi Bossman said the two armed men reportedly ordered the workers to leave, entered the district officer’s office and took the money in a ‘Ghana must go’ bag. They used the Bompata road with the intention of escaping through Agogo, he said.
The lone police lance corporal from Bompata, according to the divisional commander, commandeered a landcruiser vehicle and chased the robbers.
A tyre of the motorbike burst on their way and so they hopped unto a taxi. Sensing danger,the taxi driver was said to have run into a ditch on their way, and in his attempt to escape, the robbers reportedly shot and killed him instantly.
They stopped another taxi, ordered the passengers out and this time, one of them decided to drive taking the taxi driver hostage at the back seat.
The police managed to close in at this point, gave a warning shot and also shot through the car. The driver reportedly lost control and veered off the road and hit a nearby house.
They then exchanged bullets with the police, but the police officer entered someone’s bedroom and shooting from behind the robbers, he was said to have killed them instantly.

Good job.Keep it up and he should be promoted too.
But the igp.......pls we waiting to hear what you have to say on this act of bravity,at least to motivate other cops.
The policeman should rather be killing Nana Akronfu Addict.
Mtn mobile money is the solution. Let's try and go cashless cos is too risky to carry bulk money
If the said cash was meant for workers salaries,why wont the company open accounts for its workers at banks of their choice from which their monthly salaries will be paid instead of carrying all these money and end up endangering your life.To the police officer i say bravo, i suggest the company give him 5 percent of the amount as bravery fee,after all they would have been left with zero Ghana cedis had the criminals bolted with the money. I thank the police officer for reducing the population of armed robbers in Ghana by two.Kill them more.
This is "Fast and Furious 9". We need such brave men in our system!!! ACTION ! ACTION!! ACTION!!!
GOOD JOB DONE.
This is a cop everybody is looking for,pls Mr,IGP reward him
