Earlier, residents in the area were gripped with fear after alleged gunmen attacked and robbed a jewellery shop customer who had just exchanged his gold for cash.
According to eyewitnesses who spoke with TV3’s Joseph Armstrong Gold-Alorgbey, the robbery occurred around 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Mary, a food vendor stationed next to the jewellery shop, recounted the traumatic ordeal. She described how the armed robbers pointed a gun at her and ordered her to run for her life. Attempting to escape, she fell and twisted her leg.
Other witnesses reported that the gunmen fired several shots to frighten people in the vicinity, causing panic.
During the commotion, one of the bags containing the stolen money opened, scattering cash. The gunman carrying the money reportedly began tossing some of it into the air, prompting onlookers to scramble to pick up what they could.
