A one month old baby was nearly divided into two by armed robbers who were demanding money from his parents.
The robbers who stormed Kasoa Peace Town in the Central region had robbed tenants in the area and got to the room of a driver’s mate, wife and their baby. According to the distraught mother, one of the robbers took the baby when he did not get any valuable thing in the room to steal. “He then held the upside down and pointed a machete toward the baby, threatened to kill the baby if we don’t give him money”.
The fear stricken father then looked into his pocket and found only 15 cedis and handed over to the robbers just to save his baby’s life.Amina [pseudo] name noted that the armed robber then dropped the baby on the floor and moved to the next room where a 27-year-old footballer was killed.
The deceased whose name was given Sadiq Adam died gunshot wounds around 2: am during a robbery. Adom News’ Kofi Adjei who visited the scene reported that several others sustained serious machete wounds and are currently in the hospital receiving treatment.
Meanwhile, Assembly man of the area blamed the incessant robbery attacks on the bad nature of roads.
He indicated that several complains have been made to the assembly but it has fallen on death ear.
The Assembly man called on government to come to their aid and also resource the police to protect live and property in the Kasoa Walantu electoral area.

If the police and the various securities are failing to their work.. what do you want the poor ordinary Ghanaian want to do to protect his family and is hard earn income? I bet to differ.. this MOB justice is never going to stop ..as far as the police and other security agencies are not up to the task..You know the Mob justice at times also helpful when the right culprit is caught.it also deter orders from harassing poor Ghanaian who struggle to put food on their table too..
Hmm, well your assumption is wrong my dear. Have U done dis checks; (a) when was the police called (2) was it during the robbery or after (3) {don't get offended please} did the robbers fly or did they also use the same bad roads. In the Captain's case if what I read was correct, the assembly man with his two aides after challenging the late Captain, and he drawing his pistol to frighten them off, the assembly man went to report to the police about his the incident BUT the police didn't follow up and we all know the rest. Those police who didn't follow up should be dealt with, what do u think people?
Honestly, i don't want to sound as glorifying mob actions but i strongly belief this are some of the root causes.When the community is in distress and nobody comes to their aid and all their appeals to the authorities falls on dearth ears.As long as the police can not apprehend this people with the same haste they have apprehended about 40 suspect of Major Mahamahs murderers am afraid the community will always be force to take the laws into their own hands because it is really painful to go through this experience in the hands of these arm robbers when there is suppose to be authority in place.
