A suspected armed robber has been lynched for allegedly attacking a pregnant woman at Sepe Buokrom in the Kumasi Metropolis of the Ashanti Region.
The body was found on Thursday, November 23, 2023, a day after the pregnant woman was attacked.
According to the victim, she was attacked by two armed men wielding machetes while returning from church on Wednesday, November 22, 2023.
She added that a taxi driver intervened and saved her from the suspected robbers.
The suspects, however, managed to escape after taking the belongings of the woman.
The Assembly Member for Sepe-Buokrom Electoral Area, Joseph Basoah, revealed that some agitated youth decided to go after the suspects.
“Looking at the scene, I can only suspect that the deceased was lynched. After the incident, some angry youth vowed to deal with the suspects,” he stated.
“I do not know how and when this occurred, but I must warn that youth here are very annoyed over rampant robbery cases. They have, on countless occasions, pledged to deal with the robbery suspects”.
Mr Basoah further called on the youth to desist from instant justice and rather send suspects to the police.
