The Anaji Taxi Station Driver who conveyed the Amanful armed robbery victims to the hospital, Mr. Lazarus gave an account of what happened on Skyy Power 93.5FM.

Lazurus in his account made it known that the victims parked their car in front of a grocessory shop, Lucky Bar, opposite their taxi station. He was a bit far away from the action but the noises prompted him and his friends to visit the scene since their taxis were parked there.

However, the robbery operation was over before he got there and saw the victim helplessly in the front seat of his car with gunshot wounds.

He said “After getting to the scene, I saw the man sitting in the front seat of his car with gun shot wounds, his eyes widely opened and struggling to breath. The wife was also in the car with a guy who was an escort to help them purchase some building materials for their housing project.”

“I let some of my friends help me relocate the man to the backseat of the car and drove him to the Takoradi Hospital. He was breathing heavily and you could sense he was suffering but was alive when we got to the hospital. He was referred to another hospital but before the ambulance arrived, he was dead,” he added.

Also, he made it known that the robbery operation was so intense that nobody could go close and help the victims; the robbers were giving warning shots just to scare people off from approaching them.

The victim, Mr. Charles Korankye is a 61-year-old who is believed to have returned from Switzerland barely 2 weeks ago and has been in Takoradi for only 3 days.
