The victims were sent to Asankrangwa Catholic Hospital.

From a reliable source, on their way to the cemetery, near the Moseaso Clinic one of the guys holding a gun sat in front of the ambulance preventing it from moving fast, so some of the guys rushed to pull him, not knowing the gun was already filled with bullets so the guy shot at the lower ground and spread to the crowd, causing 7 people injured. Some sympathizers who had come to mourn and commiserate with the family had to run and hid.

It will be recalled that, on 16th April 2023, some armed robbers attacked gold miners at the Moseaso Rubber Plantation area killing a 51-year-old man through a gunshot. The armed robbers were later nabbed and beaten to death. The robbers were burnt as well which raised hairs in Amenfi West Municipality and Ghana as a whole.

PAZION MEDIA is calling leaders and institutions especially the police service to monitor and put a stop to the mushrooming of guns by the youth in Amenfi West Municipality. Many young men have guns illegally which is a threat to lives.
