The deceased has been identified as Kweku Shadrach. The second victim, whose identity has not yet been confirmed, was rushed to the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital for emergency treatment.

The incident occurred at Dadieso Junction, a suburb of Awutu Bereku, along the Awutu Bereku–Bontrase road in the Awutu Senya West District.

Two okada riders reportedly collided at the junction. Moments later, a tipper truck, said to be speeding, ran into both riders, causing severe injuries.

Speaking to Adom News, an eyewitness, Isaac Appiah, said the impact of the crash was devastating, leaving one rider dead on the spot while the other sustained life-threatening injuries.

Residents who gathered at the scene expressed deep concern about the increasing number of accidents involving tipper trucks in the area.

The suspect, identified as Ekow Abekah, a taxi driver from Gomoa Fetteh, is currently receiving treatment at the Awutu Bereku Health Centre.

According to Isaac Arhin, a close friend of the car owner who spoke to Adom News, the incident occurred when the vehicle, with registration number GG 2658–20, was briefly parked by the roadside.

The owner had stepped aside to conduct a Mobile Money transaction, while Mr. Arhin went to buy food. Believing they would return quickly, they left the key in the ignition.

In a surprising twist, Ekow—described by some as mentally unstable—allegedly jumped into the vehicle and sped off.

The incident triggered a pursuit by motor riders from Gomoa Ojobi, who eventually caught up with the suspect between Awutu Bereku and Akoti. He was dragged out of the car and severely beaten by the crowd. Eyewitnesses claimed the suspect defecated on himself during the assault.

Mr. Arhin added that the windscreen and boot of the car were damaged during the chase.

The suspect was later rescued by police in the area and taken to the Awutu Bereku Health Centre for medical care.

Some residents have condemned the mob action, insisting that Ekow is well-known in the Gomoa Fetteh community and may not have intended to steal the vehicle.

They rushed to the scene and discovered Efua’s lifeless body in an uncompleted building near an eye clinic in the community, with the baby crying beside her.

Osei, who according to Police sources, was driving a vehicle with registration number GE 3012 -12, was signalled to stop but failed over claims he was an officer.

He, however, succumbed to pressure and upon interrogation, maintained he was a policeman.

The suspect, who identified himself as Isaac Osei, wore a uniform with the name tag ‘Laryea’.

When asked of his service number he could not give it and later confessed he was not an officer but it was his friend’s uniform.

The Police have appealed to all hospital workers to report any person who visits their facility with gun wounds on suspicion they might have shot one of the robbers as there were blood stains in the car.

Meanwhile, residents have commended the officers for their act of bravery and also for not mistakenly killing bystanders since there were a lot of witnesses present.

A brother of the car owner, Lawrence Danso, has also commended the Police for their hard work.

The woman sustained gunshot injuries to her waist after armed men shot sporadically through the windows of every house after residents failed to open their doors.

According to some eyewitnesses who spoke to Adom News’ Seth Kofi Adjei, the past four days have been a living hell as their community has become a target for armed men.

Consequently, they revealed it has become a norm of locking themselves up in their rooms upon hearing the sound of gunshot.

However, the armed robbers continued terrorizing the residents and resorted to shooting the doors and windows.

The residents said they witnessed the victim being shot but could not come to her immediate rescue as they were traumatised by the incident.

The victim has, however, been transported to the Winneba Trauma Hospital.

The suspects, who have been remanded into police custody, managed to lay hands on chisel and hammer and broke the metal door to escape.

It took the intervention of Corporal Frank Nkansah, Inspector Denise Nkrumah, Officer Richard Kwofie, Daniel Yomaa and Lucky Twum Asare to rearrest them immediately they tried to run past the station.

The suspects have been transferred to different cells awaiting court on Monday.

Some residents commended the five officers for working tirelessly day and night and called on the administration to promote them.

They also appealed for more officers to be posted to the Awutu Bereku District Police Command to help fight crime.

Three of the injured are from Awutu Bereku while the remaining four are from Gomoa Akraman.

The Awutu Bereku residents are receiving treatment at the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital while those from Gomoa Akraman are also receiving treatment at Akraman.

In an interview with Adom News, some Akraman victims claimed the Awutu Bereku faction invaded their land and in their bid to stop them, they got attacked and had to retaliate.

Alhaji Dawood from the Awutu Bereku faction denied the allegations levelled against them by Gomoa Akraman.

He claimed they were working on the land for a customer, adding the Akraman residents rather attacked them with guns.

Alhaji Dawood indicated the deceased was part of his team.

Residents of Gomoa Akraman say they are now living in fear and accused the people of Awutu Bereku of using dubious ways to take their land which they will not allow.

Meanwhile, the Central Regional Police Command has arrested four persons who are assisting in investigations while the dead body has been conveyed to the Police Hospital.

Information gathered indicated that Mawunya and his friend hired Kwabena Ogyam from Awutu Bontrase to Mfadwen but allegedly killed him on the way and took his motor and the dead body away.

Awutu Bereku District Police Command fired three live bullets yesterday night to disperse the crowd after the angry residents stormed the police station to demand the suspect to lynch him.

In an interview with Adom News, the father of the deceased, Kwame Darko, revealed that the suspects told their friends they would kill somebody for rituals and use that money to buy a heavy car before the 2022 Awutu Awubia Festival.

However, some of the okada riders called on the Police to come to their aid due to the recent killing of their colleagues.

The deceased was last seen on top speed on his motorbike around 3 pm, Monday afternoon.

Residents plying the route of the dam saw a body in the water, which was later discovered to be Nana Yaw.

Police preliminary investigations have suggested that he did not die from drowning.

According to the mother of the deceased, Paulina Quaye, police revealed blood was the only liquid emitting from his nose and mouth during first aid.

This had intensified suspicions that he may have been murdered and dumped in the abandoned community dam.

A resident told Adom News this is the first such incident to rock the Awutu Bereku community.

He explained the water in the dam is not deep enough to cause a 23-year-old to drown.

Meanwhile, Nana Yaw’s motorbike is yet to be discovered.

Citi News sources say an argument ensued between the deceased, Christopher Avedzi, and the suspects resulting in the physical assault, including blows, that killed him.

Witnesses say the deceased died a month later after suffering from complications forcing family members of the deceased to point out two of the suspects to the police.

The Awutu Bereku District Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Joshua Semanyo, briefed Citi News on the case.

“A man lodged a complaint of assault with us about two months ago. We issued him with a Police Medical form and asked him to first go to the hospital and return. He never came back.

This follows a clash between angry youth and alleged fraud boys over the death of the 67-year-old woman, Yaa Badua, in the community.

According to the charged youth, the fraud boys are the cause of all the robbery, rampant killing of people, and people mysteriously getting missing in the area.

In a bid to stop the criminal activities in the area, the youth conducted a search in the ghettos where the fraud boys live and found and ceased many parcels of marijuana, guns, cutlasses, knives, mobile phones, laptops and sent the items to the Police and filed a complaint but nothing was done about it.

This pushed them to put the law into their hands and clashed with the fraud boys. In the process, some of the boys were attacked with sticks and cutlasses, and other weapons leading to the death of one while nine others sustained serious injuries.

The Assin Praso Police stepped in and arrested 14 people who are assisting in investigations while the body has been deposited at Assin Fosu Mortuary for Preservation.
