A New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant for the Ledzokuku constituency, Dr. Okoe Boye was attacked at gun point at his residence this dawn.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”H9onMSVvNTFqTckqjTw1T3Uld3tIPk5i”]The robbers made away with his personal belongings, electronic gadgets, some money and other items.<\/p>\n

Narrating the incident to Citi News,<\/strong> Dr. Boye said about three gentlemen broke into his residence around 1 am and stole about 700 ghana cedis and other items.<\/p>\n

“Last night we actually went to do some house to house campaign so I got home around 11pm in the night. After the campaign, I went home, had my bath, took something and slept but around 1: 50am, I was awoken from my sleep with a loud noise… my door had been broken into pieces then three gentlemen with masks entered the room.I was disoriented because I was sleeping. …They asked me for my wedding ring and they also took about 700 ghana cedis away”<\/p>\n

According to him, the robbers also broke into his sister-in-law’s apartment and stole some items as well.<\/p>\n

He revealed that the robbers were aggressive until he told them he was a medical officer.<\/p>\n

“They were aggressive … so I told them I am medical officer; luckily one of the gentlemen who was going through my bag saw a stethoscope and immediately he realised that, he apologised and told the other guys not to harm anybody.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Boye said the robbers were “holding guns and acid” during the attack.<\/p>\n

He stated that he “made a few calls before they [robbers] left so the Police arrived but they came late- when the robbers had fled.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Boye observed that this is the second time he had suffered an armed robbery attack.<\/p>\n

He was however unable to confirm whether the attack had any political undertones.<\/p>\n

He was also hopeful the Police will apprehend the perpetrators.<\/p>\n
