The dead body, kasapafmonline.com understands, is still in a pool of blood.

Kofi Mensah, a taxi driver in the community who broke the story on Accra-based Okay FM said the incident happened some few minutes after the entire community was plunged into total darkness following a power outage.

He said the entire community has in recent times, been experiencing spate of armed robbery cases.

Just as he got closer to his store, the unknown assailants shot him.

“He managed to move away from that place and when he was about entering his house, some of the assailants who had then laid ambush around his house shot him again and in the process, killing him instantly. Moments after the shooting incident, a motorbike sped off from the scene”, he noted.
