Mr Marfo, who is also son of the Regional Security Liaison Officer, was shot in the thigh while his friends also sustained severe gunshot wounds.

Doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) last night started a surgical procedure to remove bullet pellets from their bodies.

An eyewitness told Joy News the incident happened in the residence of Kojo Marfo's friend.

Police sources say Kojo Marfo and his friends, after leaving Church service Sunday afternoon, went to the mansion, which is located in a forest at Trede when the suspected robbers attacked them
