Armed robbers on Sunday shot and killed the Sene East District Head Pastor of the Apostolic Church of Ghana and one of his elders on the Atebubu-Kumasi Highway.
 The deceased whose names were given as Pastor Sackey and Elder Ampaw, were reportedly on their way to Ashanti Mampong to meet their area head when the incident occurred. The bodies of the deceased have since been taken to the Atebubu Government hospital.
The robbers who were hiding in the bush, emerged and started shooting indiscriminately at vehicles on that stretch. The robbers then ordered passengers to handover monies and other valuable but the two men of God were shot dead because the robbers thought they were running away when others had stopped, an eyewitness said, according to reports.
The police in Atebubu has mounted a manhunt for the armed robbers.
