Robbers gang rape woman in road attack

Eyewitnesses say the victim is receiving treatment at the Boaman health centre, after all the six suspected armed robbers dragged her to a nearby cocoa farm and had sex with her.

The robbers reportedly blocked part of the road between Boaman and Kumasi and stopped vehicles heading that way.
