Police have confirmed one officer died after he was shot at close range by robbers at a popular joint called Las Palmas at Abeka Lapaz, a suburb of Accra Thursday.
A statement released by the police said the officer, whose name is yet to be released, passed away at the Police hospital while receiving treatment.
It also confirmed, one officer is in critical condition after the robbers who were on motorbikes tried to get away.
An eyewitness in an interview with Adom News described the incident as one akin to that of ‘action movie’.
“The police who was part of the team chasing the robbers went closer to them and they shot them three times. He dropped on the floor but I cannot tell if he is dead,” he added.
The armed men, he indicated, abandoned their motorbikes and snatched an ash Hyundai Sonata car from its driver in the full glare of the public.
