A daring daylight robbery unfolded at Adabraka Market in Accra on Saturday, November 2, sending shockwaves through the busy commercial area.
According to eyewitnesses, masked and heavily armed men, numbering about four, attacked a man parked near the market in a red Toyota Corolla.
The robbers fired multiple shots into the air to disperse the crowd before forcing their way into the vehicle and making off with large sacks of cash.
“The robbers approached the car, guns drawn, and began firing shots into the air,” said one eyewitness.
“They then grabbed the bags of money and loaded them into their getaway vehicle, a Toyota Highlander.”
The robbers fled the scene, still firing shots to keep bystanders at bay.
No injuries or fatalities were reported.
This is the second time a similar incident has occurred in the area, sparking concerns about safety and security.
“The police came late, by the time they arrived, the armed robbers had already escaped with the bags of money,” another eyewitness said.
The Ghana Police Service has yet to comment on the incident.
Videos of the robbery have circulated widely on social media, showing the gunmen’s swift and coordinated movements.
