Gunmen kill two soldiers at Abia army checkpoint

Man attacked with machete after stealing cocoa

A young man was attacked with a machete while trying to steal dried cocoa beans in Osedzi, in the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam district, in the Central Region of Ghana.

“The victim and two accomplices have found the cocoa folded in a dry­ing mat on the compound of a farmer as they turned off the lights and com­menced operation,” according to reports.

The farmer heard movements on his premises and silently sneaked out of his room with a machete, grabbed the victim and in­flicted machete wounds on him.

The two accomplices, upon sensing danger, fled the scene.

“The victim was slashed open in the abdomen and left shoulder and bled profusely,” reports said.

The farmer kept the victim in his custody for some time before handing him over to personnel at the Ajumako District Police Station, where he was asked to take the victim to Ajumako District Hospital.
