A Mobile Money (MoMo) vendor, Japhet Yeboah, has been shot dead in a daylight robbery at Nkrankwanta in the Dormaa West District of the Bono Region.

The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at the Nkrankwanta lorry station.

According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen arrived in a white RAV4 private car and approached Japhet under the guise of making a transaction.

However, they attacked him and demanded that he hand over his money, leading to a scuffle.

During the struggle, the MoMo vendor managed to unmask one of the gunmen but was shot twice, killing him on the spot.

Drivers, passengers, vendors, and scores of people at the station fled for their lives as the robbers fired warning shots.

The assailants escaped with an undisclosed amount of money, leaving Japhet in a pool of blood.

The body has been deposited at the Nkrankwanta Hospital as police have initiated an investigation into the incident.
