Read A Blow By Blow Account by Azorka

Last night about 11:45pm, when I returned from town, as the usual routine, I packed outside and got down to open the gate and when I opened, I saw a certain guy walking on my compound although the gates were heavily locked up.


So I rushed towards him to find out his mission in the house living whilst the car was out with the engine on. He quickly jumped over the wall.

I made an attempt to rush back to the main entrance to check if the guy will be passing through to the other end, when I got to the entrance, I then saw another group (at least 3 guys) quickly entering my car and sped o

I tried but had no traces of them. So I lodged a complaint at the nearest police station and was assured of a full investigation instituted into the matter.

They made away with my vehicle (the one in the picture), documents, phones, an unspecified amount of money and other valuable accessories.

The Ghana Police Service has launched full investigation into this matter and is bent on following up until its conclusive end.

I want to thank the families, party leaders and teaming party faithfuls who have called, texted and come visit to check on my health.
I am very healthy and safe

Only Allah can unmake us!
