A leader of a robbery gang who opened fire on police and an accomplice who tried to escape in handcuffs have been gunned down in Kumasi.
The Hollywood movie-like incident which occurred on Tuesday dawn saw police officers escaping death by inches after being fired at close range by the leader of a gang.
Four people on August 4, robbed a residential facility at Asokore Mampong in Kumasi.
Upon intelligence, police arrested three people. The third person, Kwadwo Asare mentioned the name of Kofi Asare as the leader of the gang.
Arhin, also known as 50 Cent pulled a pistol on police after police used an accomplice, Kwadwo Asare as bait to lure him at the Ahmadiya Roundabout in Asafo at about 1 a.m on Tuesday.
But he fired at a group of police officers upon realizing the men he was seeing were police officers and not his gang members.
But Arhin missed the officers narrowly, leading to a scuffle between him and the police team.
Kofi Arhin was subsequently shot in the process, killing him instantly.
His accomplice, Kwadwo Asare, also known as Lumba who decided to take advantage of the scuffle between Arhin and police to escape in handcuffs was also shot in an effort to demobilize him.
But Asare died whilst being sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
