Lucas Osei, a 41-year-old cocoa purchasing clerk, is in critical condition at St. Francis Xavier Hospital following a violent robbery at his home in New Habitat, a suburb of Assin Fosu. The attack, which occurred around 2 a.m., involved four masked assailants armed with machetes and scissors. The robbers stole GH¢100,000, two laptops, and two mobile phones.
Neighbors discovered Osei in a pool of blood after he screamed for help and promptly rescued him. The police, led by Superintendent Kwabena Darkoh, the Central North Regional Police Crime Officer, arrived swiftly, but the suspects had already fled. They did, however, recover the machete and scissors used in the attack, which are being kept as evidence.
Central North Regional Commander DCOP Emmanuel Teye Cudjoe and his team visited the hospital to assess Osei’s injuries. The incident has left the community in shock, with police urging anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
