On September 20, 2023, around 7:00 PM, a motorcycling gang attacked a 25-year-old woman near Aprade Junction in the Oforikrom Municipality.

The woman was shot many times in the legs by the group after they opened fire on her.

Bystanders fled in all directions to find cover as a result of the tragedy.

It’s unclear if the woman tried to fight off the gang that ambushed her at the peaceful intersection so they could take her possessions.

Eyewitness Account

A taxi driver who made a daring dash to whisk the bleeding lady to the Living Waters Hospital, Prince Agyapong, recounted how residents in the area were living under constant fear of attacks from these motor riding robbers.

He told Ultimate News’ Ivan Heathcote – Fumador that “the gang members do not look like persons who live in Aprade.

“They come riding these royal motorbikes looking all suspicious. I passed them when I was driving here, and my instinct told me they were going on an operation.”

A few moments afterwards, I heard sporadic shooting. I turned round and got closer to find this lady under attack. I am a quite brave young guy so as people were running away I rather went straight to the lady, lifted her and stopped a friend’s taxi to rush her to the hospital,” he narrated.”

“My brother, if you see what they have done to the legs of this young lady who is wailing uncontrollably in the emergency ward, you will be driven to tears. It’s a pathetic sight,” a saddened Agyapong added.

Residents Concerns

Residents of Aprade, Oduom, and its adjoining communities dotted along the Kumasi Ejisu highway in the Ashanti Region, especially women, have become targets for motor riding gangs pounding on unsuspecting persons at dawn and in the evenings.

A woman who spoke to Ultimate News recounted several incidents where these robbers lay ambush at dawn waiting to snatch the belongings of traders who would usually leave home around those early hours for the market.

“Just four days ago, they came back here, held a woman and robbed her of her money and everything she had on her. They are strangers to this community,” she recounted.
