A 25-year old suspected armed robber, only known as Musah, has been gunned down by police in a crossfire at Nakwaba, a suburb of the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah region.
A second suspect is said to be on the run after robbing a charcoal burner, Adam Fuseini of his motor cycle.
Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District Police Commander, Adjei Degraft Armah, who confirmed the incident, said his men on duty received a complaint from the victim and traced to the scene only to be met with gunshots from the suspects resulting in the death of one of them.
