The victim was rushed to the Kyebi government hospital where he is on admission under police guard.

The two suspects are reported to be part of notorious robbery gang terrorising residents in Kibi, Akyem Tafo, Osiem, Anyinasin and its environs.

At least 10 robbery attacks were recorded in the two Municipalities within three months.
