We assumed it was a police barrier since we had seen one at the same spot earlier in the day. However, armed masked men suddenly emerged and began firing at us. We had to reverse quickly. Our vehicle’s windows were shattered, causing minor cuts, but thankfully, no one sustained serious injuries.”“Shortly after the attack, a police patrol team arrived and escorted us to Wenchi, where we filed a report at the police station.

I must commend the police officer who was with us for his professionalism in ensuring our safety. Our flagbearer and all team members are safe,” he added.
