†I was heading to Kumasi from Boaman and when I got to the spot, three other cars had been stopped already and they were taking phones and money from passengers. As they ordered us to get off our car, the lady was in the other vehicle in front of us and so they took her to the bush nearby and they started going in turns to rape her while the others watched over us''.
“In the process, a guy who was in the TD vehicle managed to dash into the bush and escaped. After a while, we heard the Police vehicle approaching and the robbers bolted but they took our belongings away.â€
