A tragic robbery in Wallembelle, a village in the Sissala East municipality of the Upper West region, resulted in the brutal murder of two individuals, according to a report by citinewsonline.com.

The incident took place on Saturday, August 17, 2024, around 7:00 pm, when four armed robbers on two motorbikes targeted a mobile money shop in the village.

The attackers stormed the premises, firing shots indiscriminately as they looted the shop, making off with an undisclosed sum of money.

A survivor, who wished to remain anonymous, recounted the terrifying events.

After the robbery, two of the attackers experienced difficulty starting their motorbike, causing a delay in their escape. Seizing the moment, one of the victims, Tordia Munkailu, attempted to raise an alarm and gave chase.

In response, the robbers opened fire, killing Munkailu and another victim, Fuseini Benorwuo. The assailants then abandoned the malfunctioning motorbike and fled the scene.

As the community mourns the loss of their members, authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
