Mr Calvin Nii Kpakpo Allotey was attacked and shot in the right arm in his container shop on Tuesday by armed robbers who made away with an undisclosed amount of money.
The victim was rushed to the Winneba Trauma and Specialists Hospital where he is responding to treatment.
A Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage, captured the action of three young robbers, one of them wielding a pump action gun and shooting indiscriminately.
Nearby residents said they heard gunshots and later saw the victim being transported on a motorbike bleeding profusely.
