They attacked one of the customers who came to sell an item to us and was leaving in his car. They crossed him, blasted his car tyre and asked him to get down and open the boot of the car, and they took all the money we gave to him.
“It was the money we gave to the customer that they stole. They did not go into the shop. We gave him around GH¢6.2 million. We are going to sit with the customer to see how we are going to resolve the issue. Some of the money also belongs to other people,” he said in Twi.
He added, “The police are investigating the matter; they came here for information, and they are still chasing the robbers. I’m also pleading with any person who has information to help us.”
