Four suspected armed robbers have been shot dead by police during a fierce gun battle on the Bekwai-Fomena Highway in the Ashanti Region.
The incident occurred after the gang reportedly mounted a roadblock and attacked travellers between Bekwai and Fomena, an area which has seen a surge in highway robberies in recent times.
According to police sources, the suspects are believed to be part of a larger gang terrorising residents and commuters within the Adansi enclave.
The swift response by security forces followed multiple distress calls from victims of the attack.
