Mampong Police Shoot Dead Two Teachers After Mistaking Them For Armed Robbers

blank
This is an astonishing incident of a case of mistaken identity, one which the police would hopefully investigate to determine level of negligence that would lead to such a turn of events, and hopefully punish someone.
Two teachers of the Mampong Midwifery College in Mampong in the Ashanti region have reportedly been shot to dead by police in the town, after they were mistaken for a couple of armed robbers by the police.
The deceased, who were brothers, were shot whilst on a motorbike, as the police apparently mistook them for the armed robbers they were running down.
According to multiple reports, a robbery alarm was raised by residents of the town, so the police convened at the premises where the alarm was raised. When the two brothers were spotted on their motorbike, the police mistook them for the robbers and shot them.
“According to the men who were on the patrol, when they got to the scene they were told the robbers had taken a particular route so as they negotiated a curve they saw a motorbike take off with speed so they tried to stop them, thinking they were the robbers but they didn’t stop.” Ashanti Regional Police Command PRO, ASP Yusif Mohammed Tanko told Joy News
“They pursued them for some time and the pillion rider turned, so when he turned, they mistook the turning and because he was holding something that appeared to be a weapon, they thought he was turning to shoot them so they shot at them.
“Unfortunately, later we discovered that they were not the robbers but indeed they were also running around to see if they could get some assistance for the victims,” he continued.
According to him, an investigation would be carried out and if anyone is found culpable, they would be held accountable.
