Highway armed robbers have attacked Members of The Church of Pentecost at Akyem Anyinasin in the Eastern Region and absconded with mobile phones and monies including Church offerings.
The incident occurred Tuesday around 9:30pm.
Fourteen of the victims including women from three local assemblies of the church -Atwemamena, Aboabo, and Anyinasin were onboard a vehicle driven by a Church Elder -Enock Ofori returning from the Church’s district officers program at Old Tafo Akyem heading towards Akyem Anyinasin Community.
One of the victims, George Asare narrated that, the highway robbers numbering four(4) wielding guns and knives blocked the road and at gunpoint ordered their vehicle to stop which the driver complied.
He said the robbers forced them to lie face down and took away all their mobile phones and monies.
The armed robbers have been terrorizing commuters on the Akyem Anyinasin to Tafo, Tafo to Akyem Maase, and Asafo roads for many years now. The bad nature of the roads has been cited as an aiding factor.
