Taxi driver shot and killed in a suspected robbery attack
At Greda Estate in Accra, residents are leaving in a fear following the killing of a 30-year-old taxi cab driver.
Police discovered Kwame Osei Banahene’s motionless body in a pool of blood, with gunshot wounds to his head.
The Teshie District Police Commander, DSP Ransford Nsiah, told Citi News that the car owner came at the site to identify himself and the driver.
“We saw him lying in a pool of blood. So while we were trying to organize ourselves to convey the body to the mortuary, one man who claimed to be the owner of the taxi car which the victim was using came to tell us that he knows the victim and that he gave him the car to operate on a work and pay basis. He then proceeded to give the car number, the car type, and the colour of the car to us. However, upon inspection of the body, we found gunshot wounds on him.”,DSP Ransford stated.
DSP Ransford Nsiah urged the public to assist Police investigations by providing important information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.
“We have information that the criminals removed the car number plate and embossed a new number on it, but we don’t have the real number to corroborate it right now.”, Mr. Nsiah, disclosed.
