A suspected robbery attack on a Mobile Money vendor in Kalariga, a suburb of Tamale, claimed the lives of four people, including a local radio personality with Tamale's Neesim FM.
Some eyewitnesses told the media that, the radio presenter who is also a mobile money vendor was shot at his business center.
Two other victims, including one Afa Razak, a by-passer, also died in the attack.
The fourth victim is reported to have been lynched because residents suspected him to be an accomplice.
He was believed to be of Fulani extraction and was riding a motorcycle by the scene.
The Ghana Police Service has since confirmed the incident.
They pledged that, “we are working around the clock to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
Meanwhile, some journalists and colleagues of the radio presenter have described the incident as unfortunate.
It is the second robbery incident within the week, with the first being around the Afa Ajura’s mosque.
Residents of Tamale are, however, worried about the continuous robberies, snatching of cars, and other criminal activities in the metropolis.
They called on the Regional Minister, and the security services to act swiftly to curb the menace.
