He said the three men, who turned out to be robbers, upon seeing him immediately rushed on him attacked and snatched the taxi cab from him.

Mr Kojo Amuonu said he was shot by the armed robbers but fortunately for him, the gun didn't respond, so they ended up beating him till he pretended to be dead.

 “They left me and took the taxi with registration number GW-5692-20 away,” he noted.

He said nobody heard him when he shouted for help so he crawled till he met someone who took him to the Ajumako District Government Hospital.

To add salt to injury, he added that the owner of the taxi cab is also demanding his car from him.

He bemoaned the owner of the taxi not even offering to help find the criminals.

“He is only concerned with putting pressure on me to find his car,” he said.

The case has been reported to the Ajumako District Police Station for further investigation.

No arrest has been made so far.
