Four teenagers have been mistakenly shot by a hunter at Ahansonyewodea, a suburb of Obuasi, in Ashanti Region in the early hours of Tuesday.
The boys were shot when they went on a dawn hunting expedition for snails at Abompe in Obuasi.
Adom News’ Isaac K Normanyo who was at the scene reported on Adom FM’s Morning Show ‘Dwaso Nsem’, explained that, the boys were mistaken to be armed robbers.

The hunter is said to have been terrorized by robbers anytime he goes to his farm and was forced to shoot the boys for fear of being attacked.
One of the victims who spoke to Adom News’ Isaac K Normanyo said they are not robbers but have been in the snail business for some time to support their education.

“My father is not working. I go for snails hunt to get money to pay for my printing fees. We go for the snails at Abompe and so we can never be robbers”, the victim cried out.
He said the two were hit with bullets in the waist, buttocks, and legs.

I have been verified that the man who shot the boys is free moving around going about his business without helping the treatment of the boys because his he his rich enough to cover up the truth. Ghana corruption everywhere, only God helps de poor and the helpless in our societies
