Narrating the ordeal, a passenger who was in the car during the attack, said that the attackers blocked the road and forced the passengers out of Yakubu’s vehicle after shooting him.

“They asked us to run out of the car, leaving the dead body. They brought out a gallon of petrol and poured it on the body and burned it together with the car,” she narrated.

The Ghana Police Service is yet to comment on the incident.
