The incident was at Adabraka Official Town, specifically between, Nobles Spot and the popular Aponkye Spot in the area.

Eyewitnesses stood motionless, could not intervene because the robbers had pulled out a black pistol, and did not also even call the police to lodge a complaint after the incident, the Daily Graphic report said.

What happened? – Daily Graphic account:

Some eyewitnesses who spoke to the newspaper suggested that the robbers may have tracked the victims from a location, knowing that he was in possession of the money, and had struck at an opportune location and time.

The eyewitnesses said they heard the robbers demanding for the money when they stopped the victim, and ordered him to open the bag.

Eyewitnesses told Graphic Online that, the two suspects, covering their faces with helmets and wearing black jackets crossed the victim with their black motorcycle on the loop from the opposite side.

They used the motorcycle to block the victim from moving ahead and managed to get him to stop.

When he did, the pillion rider reportedly pulled out a black pistol and pointed it at the victim.

They ordered him to open and empty a backpack he was carrying, and when he did, they collected the substantial amount of money, which was wrapped in a polythene bag.
