"My son will just tell me mummy the armed robbers are coming, they're coming. Then I'll tell them the police have taken them away, they are not coming. It's quite embarrassing. They do a lot, especially with the little boy. On Sunday afternoon I left him in with the househelp. When I came back my househelp was telling me that he wanted me to come home because the armed robbers were coming," Aba, an expectant mother who was robbed at gunpoint in her home narrates the trauma his family is going through following the incident.
Armed robbery is one of the most frightening and terrifying experiences anyone can experience. At the heart of this crime is how the privacy, mental and bodily integrity of the victim is violated. On Hotline this Thursday Fiifi Koomson hears the experiences of some robbery victims and how they are coping.
It plays at 8:30 this Thursday on Hotline on the Super Morning Show.
