Boateng Junior, a 24-year-old mobile money (MoMo) vendor, has become the latest victim in a brutal attack targeting operators in the area.
Junior had been running a mobile money business for the past four years, initially operating within the former onion market until it was relocated to Racecourse.
He subsequently moved his business to the new Racecourse market.
In an interview with John Marfo, host of Ghana Akoma on Akoma FM, the Assemblyman for Kwadaso Proper Electoral Area, Kwabena Frimpong, suspected that Junior's assailant might have accosted him from Racecourse last Saturday. "We are gathering information that he was approached by the attacker, possibly after being suspected of carrying a large sum of money," Frimpong stated.
