The robbers shot and killed one person and wounded two others.
Another vehicle which ignored an order to stop ran over six of the passengers the robbers had ordered to lie on the road, killing another passenger.
The deceased persons have been identified as Evans Anane, 13, and Beatrice Opoku.
Correspondent Nana Boateng reported Chief Inspector John Amponsah as saying they rushed to the place immediately they heard of the attack.
They were met with gun shots by the robbers and they returned fire.
As a result, one police officer, Inspector Francis Ahadzie also sustained gun shot wounds and is on admission at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
The eight other victims who received gun shot wounds are also receiving treatment at the Mampong Government Hospital.
