Armed robbers have terrorised workers and security officers on the railway bridge site of the Ofankor-Nsawam road project.

Reports indicate that the incident occurred at night, leaving both security personnel and contractors at the mercy of the armed assailants.

The affected contractors have lodged an official complaint with the Ofankor Police Station.

 Senior Project Manager, Abdulai Mahama of the Ofankor-Nsawam road project, has provided a detailed account of the harrowing robbery incident that took place at the Ofankor railway bridge site.

Mr Mahama revealed that the security officers were targeted by the armed robbers in the early hours of Sunday morning, losing their phones and personal items.

The incident occurred when the security officers confronted a group of robbers attempting to loot a broken-down truck from Burkina Faso.

“The head of internal security called me that apparently one of Burkina or the foreign trucks had developed a fault in that particular section. And as usual when there are some of these faulty vehicles, these robbers make it a target to be able to go and get what is in those trucks.

“So, one of the security men informed us that around 12:45 am, a Camry salon car, Toyota Camry, it is a black vehicle, got to that location and approached the security.”

“In the exchange of words, they tied the two security men…they attacked two other men who were in the car and took away their money and some phones and then bolted.

“This has been happening on the stretch anytime we have some of these faulty vehicles along the Ofankor stretch. But we have reported to the Ofankor police, and they have assured us that they are commencing an investigation.”
