The attackers, riding two motorbikes, confronted Kwame at the Roman School area. At the time, he was walking to a nearby lorry station to pick a vehicle for his journey when the robbers demanded his bag, money, and phone. He resisted and attempted to fight them but was shot in the rib”, the report noted.
