The incident occurred around 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

Information gathered by Adom News indicates that Mr. Obeng and some residents were rushing to a nearby village after hearing reports of a robbery. Tragically, he encountered the armed robbers on the way and was fatally shot.
In the aftermath, residents expressed concern over the increasing spate of robberies in the area and called on the police and relevant authorities to step up security.

According to her, she is uncertain how she will single-handedly care for the seven boys, and one girl Mr. Obeng has left behind.
