Mr Amponsah said the late MP was crying for help but none of them could help because the “armed robbers had guns to our heads”.
The victim, who was traveling in a bus, also lost his GH₵7,000.00, mobile phone and other valuables.
“Some of the passengers in our bus were moving in and out of the bus when the armed robbers were pointing the guns at us. When we realised, they all alighted a few minutes from the robbery scene so I suspect them,” Mr Amponsah stated.
He appealed for increased patrols on all highways across the country to avert such unfortunate incidents.
