A 27-year-old Mobile Money (MoMo) vendor, Patricia Nimako, has been shot and killed by suspected armed robbers at Krofrom in the Ashanti Region.
The attack occurred at approximately 3:00 PM on Thursday, February 13, 2025, when two armed men targeted her MoMo kiosk, fleeing with GH₵10,000 and mobile phones.
An eyewitness, Evans, stated that the assailants struck after Patricia had withdrawn money from the bank. “We tried to chase them, but their gun scared us. They escaped towards Airport Road,” he said.
The victim was rushed to Manhyia Government Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Residents have since expressed fear over a possible return of the robbers.
The police have launched an investigation, as attacks on MoMo vendors have become increasingly common in Ghana, often leading to fatalities or serious injuries.
