Drama unfolded at Mile 7 around Ofankor Thursday morning after two unidentified young men abandoned a gold coloured coffin in the middle of the Ofankor road making vehicular movement difficult.
According to an eye witness account, the two unidentified young men who drove a saloon car with its registration number yet to be identified, left the coffin in the custody of a middle aged woman with the intention of coming back for it.
The incident which drew a large crowd according to Oppong Kyekyeku was scary especially in an era when the issue of blood money, popularly referred to as sakawa is on the increase.
He said, nobody was willing to assist the policeman who came around to lift the coffin from the middle of the road until he called for assistance.
"I was driving to work and upon reaching the Mile 7 road, i saw a large crowd gathered around a gold coloured coffin in the middle of the road. When i asked, i was told that two young men, who drove in a salon car left the coffin in the middle of road. They told a middle aged woman that they will come back for it. One of the young men pretended to be making a call and by the time, we could say jack, he was gone. The other one drove in his salon car with another coffin. It was scary."
