Okada rider killed in robbery shooting at Eastern Region

A 24-year-old okada rider has been killed in a robbery attack near Nsawam in the Eastern Region.

The victim, Kwame Mensah, had been supporting his family by working in the Nsawam area after completing senior high school.

The gang hired him for a trip to Kwarfokurom and halfway through the journey, they shot him and stole his motorbike.

The grieving mother of the deceased called for justice, and the former Member of Parliament for Ayensuano appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to increase police patrols in the area to protect Okada riders and residents from such attacks.
