Police shoots Bulldozer Operator at Anyinabriem

Tarkwa (W/R) July 28, GNA 96 Police Lance Corporal Alex Anagbonu shot and broke the two legs of Moro Kramo, a bulldozer operator of Interberton road construction company, at Anyinabriem, near Sefwi Wiawso on Tuesday.

A bullet hit the shins of both legs and another hit the right

thigh. Kramo is on admission at the Komfo Anokye Teaching

Hospital in Kumasi. Speaking to GNA from his hospital bed, Kramo said while

at work on Tuesday Lance Corporal Anagbonu came and

signalled him to stop and come down but he refused to stop

because at work he had to take instructions from his Foreman

only. He said one Amoh, a security man of Interberton, climbed

the bulldozer and went and stood by his side. He said he

heard Lance Corporal Anagbonu fire two shots so Amoh told

him to stop. He said he drove into a nearby palm plantation and parked

but that notwithstanding, the Policeman aimed at his legs and

shot him. He again aimed at his thigh and fired. Chief Supt Daniel Sapak Sampana, Tarkwa Divisional

Police Commander, confirmed to the GNA that Lance

Corporal Anagbonu shot and broke the two legs of Kramo. He told GNA in an interview at Tarkwa that of late there had

been rampant stealing of fuel at the Interberton worksite and

measures were put in place to track down the culprits. Chief Supt Sampana said it was alleged that Kramo had

arranged with some people to siphon fuel for them so L/C

Anagbonu and some workers of the company were detailed to

lay ambush to arrest Kramo and others. Chief Supt Sampana said information reaching him

indicated that Kramo and the other culprits were caught

red-handed siphoning the fuel but the accomplices bolted

leaving Kramo and his bulldozer. He said Kramo started moving his bulldozer and refused to

stop adding that when a colleague worker attempted to stop

Kramo he turned his dozer and wanted to run over him. At this juncture, Chief Supt Sampana said the Policeman

shot Kramo in the legs. He said Kramo was first sent to Sefwi Asafo Hospital from

where he was referred to the Okomfo Anokye Hospital.
