Sergeant George Boakye, an army personnel attached to the Office of the President, has been killed by robbers.
The deceased was shot several times by unknown assailants at Tema on Friday, 12 January around 11PM.
Col. Eric Aggrey-Quashie, Director of Public Affairs at the Ghana Armed Forces, who confirmed his death to ClassFMonline.com, described the development as “unfortunate”, and bemoaned the level of “lawlessness” in the country.
The deceased was driving from Sakumono when he stopped to urinate by the roadside at Community 19 near the Accra Abattoir area. His attackers managed to snatch the Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving and shot him multiple times in the chest when he tried to resist and get his weapon from the car to defend himself.
He was pronounced dead at the 37 Military Hospital after some Good Samaritans had called the police to intervene. The police patrol team dispatched to the location found the crashed Toyota Land Cruiser on the Community 19 bridge.

#1: NEVER stop on the motorway at night for anything. If possible, poop or weewee in your pants. Just DON'T stop no matter what. #2: NEVER drive on the motorway alone at night; use the Spintex Road or Beach Road instead if you have to go alone at night. #3: You don't pick any passengers on the motorway unless you know them or you are a commercial vehicle. It is not wickedness, it is safety first. Commercial vehicle drivers balk at the idea, what will you embrace it? #4: If you must stop at all costs (eg vehicle failure), (a) lock all valuables in the car, (b) place your warning triangles and (c) FLEE to safety! FLEE PLEASE, FLEE! Ok RUN as far away and as fast as possible! #5: At the next toll both, get a towing car to move the vehicle IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait till morning. Your vehicle will pose a risk to other motorists or it will be vandalized by daybreak.
This type of crime is the handiwork of Nigeria kriminals. Look Ghana must exit this bullsh*t of ECOWAS, where their nationals have taking to moving into Ghana to cause mayhem. The security forces should be up and doing and stop waiting to get instructions from government, Donald the bull Trump is the Commander in chief of the free world but he can't instruct the security forces before they act on something they are supposed to do. When natural disaster strikes America the army are asked to help but they are the mother of all democracy, so why can't the army help to clamp down kriminals in Ghana especially when this ECOWAS nons*nse is hurting us? Ghana wasn't used to this brutal armed robbery and attacks.
