She added that the armed robbers returned to attack the family a week later and shot the man in the face.
“My neighbour reported to the Devtraco @GhPoliceService in community 25 a week ago that thieves had broken into their home. The police never went to check the scene. Today @ 2:30 am the armed robbers came back and shot the man in the family, he’s at the emergency now!
"Perhaps if the @GhPoliceService had gone there when they first reported, they would have advised them on what to do, but they let this poor family face this alone! I pray the man survives his gunshot wounds since it’s on his face. I’m really terrified, sad and heartbroken by this,” she wrote in a Twitter post.
Bemoaning the turn of events, the journalist disclosed that the affected family is a poor family who deserves justice regardless of their economic status.
“Their daughter works for me. This is really tragic; they are a poor family who are taking care of someone’s home. @GhPoliceService Justice shouldn’t be about who has money and who doesn’t. You must pursue all cases, even when they are poor!” she added.
