A 59-year-old driver, Isaac Ayim, narrowly escaped death after being shot by armed robbers on the Gomoa Akoti-Kwanyako highway in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.
Despite sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to the head, Ayim demonstrated remarkable bravery, managing to drive himself and his assistant to the nearest police checkpoint at the Gomoa Desum police station for help.
The incident occurred during the early hours of Saturday, January 11, 2025, when Ayim, driving a Kia truck with his assistant, Frimpong Kojo, encountered a group of five armed robbers on the highway.
The robbers reportedly used flashlights to signal the vehicle to stop but opened fire when Ayim refused.
