Robbers attack security officer nof UOG

Four armed robbers attacked a security officer of the University of Ghana, Legon on Tuesday night while he was on patrol duty at the African Studies Chalet at the South Legon residential area.

Speaking to The Ghana News Agency, the victim, Mr John Bawa said the thieves pounced on him from behind, gagged and blindfolded him.

They tore the lanyard of his uniform, tied his feet and hands with it and dragged him to the bush. One of them was left to guard him while the others went to the residential area. They came back after some time for their colleague and left him to his fate.

Mr Bawa said he managed to untie his legs, went to the chalet and knocked at the door of a neighbour who assisted him to remove the gag and the rope tied to his hands. The thieves took his 12,000 cedis from him.

The same gang is believed to have burgled the residence of the Rev. Dr Elom Dorvlo of the Department of Religious Studies that night, taking away personal effects and a his laptop computer.
