Armed robbers attack workers on Ofankor railway bridge

Armed men robbed security officers guarding contractors on the Ofankor to Nsawam road project at the Ofankor railway bridge.

The incident occurred at night, with the assailants assaulting the officers, taking their phones and belongings, and restraining them.

The robbery happened when security officers confronted the gang attempting to loot a broken-down truck from Burkina Faso.

Senior Project Manager Abdulai Mahama noted the area has been prone to such crimes.

Despite repeated attacks and reports to the Ofankor Police, the police have yet to provide protection, although they have assured an investigation is underway.
