A Lebanese businessman has been shot dead shortly after he went to withdraw cash from Zenith Bank at the Tema Industrial Area Wednesday morning.

The deceased popularly know as Alhaji was trailed by armed robbers after he had left the bank at about 11:30 am in his Toyota Corolla vehicle.

 According to an eye witness,  the deceased's car was blocked by the armed gang who then shot him and bolted with an amount believed to be 200,000 cedis.

The witness said at least eight armed men in a car and on a motorbike carried out the attack.

The deceased, believed to be in his early 50s, works with Delta Agro, a soap-manufacturing company.

The daylight robbery comes barely 24 hours after a similar incident at the North Industrial Area in Accra Tuesday morning.

Four armed men stormed the Royal Motors at about 8:00 am and fired guns. They stole the company's cash and run off with the CCTV recording.

Wednesday's incident will heighten the growing fear and insecurity in the country despite assurances by the police.
