According to a police sitrep sighted by Myjoyonline.com, Sergeant Emmanuel Chikudoh was killed during an attack on bullion van belonging to Agricultural Development Bank (ADB).
On Tuesday morning at about 11:00 am, the Acting Manager of ADB of Sefwi Wiawso reported to police that their bullion van with registration number GT 9436-17, a Nissan Hardbody escorted team led by Saviour Amuzu, came under attack by two men armed with pump-action guns at the outskirt of 290 community near Asempaneye.
