Six armed robbers on Friday morning attacked the Wa-Funsi-Kundugu Metro Mass Transit bus robbing passengers of various sums of money, mobile phones and inflicted cutlass wounds on the driver.
The driver, 57-year-old Mr. Abdulai Kaderi, who sustained severe cutlass wounds on his left arm, was rushed to the Funsi Hospital for first aid.
He has since been brought to Wa and admitted at the Government Hospital for further treatment.
Narrating the incident to the GNA in Wa on his Hospital bed, Kaderi said he was returning from Kundugu to Wa with passengers on board when the armed robbers attacked the bus.
He said he was trying to cross a steel bridge on the Gindor River between Yala Number One and Kundugu when the armed robbers emerged from the bush to attack them.
The driver, who identified the armed robbers as Fulani men said one of them inflicted the cutlass wound on his left arm after he refused to obey an order to tell the passengers to bring out all their money for them.
Mr. Kaderi said two of them were holding AK47 Raffles and the rest held very sharp cutlasses.
He appealed to the Regional Minister to order the police to arrest all the Fulani men living around that area for an identification parade to be conducted.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Ampofo Doku, the Deputy Upper West Regional Police Commander when contacted by the GNA said a police team had since been dispatched to the scene to carry out investigations on the attack.
He said until they returned with concrete details on the matter he would not be able to comment on it.
