Fanteakwa DCE, NDC executives attacked by robbers

A gang of armed robbers suspected to be Fulani herdsmen Wednesday evening attacked the District Chief Executive of Fanteakwa, Abass Fuseini Sbaabe, and some executives of the ruling NDC.

The robbers took away valuables including, mobile phones and an undisclosed cash amount from their victims.

The DCE and his executives were reportedly returning from a communal labour within the community when the robbers accosted them amidst gun shots.

Some of the victims who attempted resisting the robbers sustained severe degrees of injuries.

Confirming the incident to Starr News’ Eastern regional correspondent Kojo Ansah, Mr. Fuseini Sbaabe said the episode appeared like a drama to him.

“Earlier in the day, together with the assistance of the constituency NDC vice chairman, the Secretary, Youth Organizer and the deputy communication officer, we organized the youth to do some voluntary work on the Abourso-Deideso Road.

“After close of work, the armed robbers stopped the two vehicles in which they were travelling and subjected them to inhumane treatment. We were travelling in three different cars.

“My vehicle wasn’t attacked but the second vehicle, a Nissan pickup, was the first to be attacked. The third vehicle – a minibus- observed the scene; sensed danger and reversed with full speed to escape danger. There were minor bruises from stampeding among those in the bus but those in the pickup were molested and robbed of their monies and mobile phones but luckily for me, my vehicle was not touched” he recounted.
