Reports indicate that armed robbers allegedly raided the IBM fuel station situated at Pakyi NO2 in the Amansie West district of the Ashanti Region.
Eyewitnesses claim the armed individuals entered the station, disabled the CCTV, and stole the digital video recorder.
Reports suggest that five fuel attendants and a security guard were restrained by the assailants, who absconded with one million cedis.
Kwabena Tawiah, Director of IBM fuel station, lamented this as the fourth such incident, despite their proximity to a police station.
“We are direct opposite a police station on the roadside but, we are always under attack in the night on the blinds side of people.”
We are appealing for intensified police patrol in the area to curb security.
Some of the workers who were attacked at that night express their fears
We are uncomfortable to work due to poor security in the area.”
Calls are made for increased police patrols in the area to address security concerns.
Due to the risks posed by armed robberies, the station now closes at 8 PM instead of operating round the clock.
