The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Sekyere Afram Plains in the Ashanti Region, Alex Adomko-Mensah, has been robbed at gun-point by some unknown persons.
Three suspected robbers, who wielded guns and knives, forcibly took away valuables belonging to the MP, including an amount of GH¢5,000, ipad and Iphone, among others.
The MP was travelling from Kumasi to Kumawu on Monday around 6:40pm in his Prado vehicle with his driver when the armed robbers, who were also in a salon car with a foreign number plate, crossed their car in a menacing fashion.
Two of the armed robbers quickly alighted from the car and pointed guns and knives at the fear-stricken lawmaker.
They ordered him to surrender all money on him or lose his life.
Hon. Adomako-Mensah, who was shivering, did not utter a word and quickly surrendered his bag, which contained GH¢5,000, ipad, iphone, parliamentary ID card, cheque books, parliamentary stamps and other valuables.
The Sekyere Afram Plains MP, who confirmed the incident to DAILY GUIDE on Tuesday, disclosed that the incident occurred in a sharp curve in a town called Akotosu on the main Kumasi to Kumawu road.
According to him, there were three people in the salon car and two of them wielding guns and knives rushed to carry out the operation.
He said after the robbery incident, which lasted for some few minutes, the armed robbers rushed into their salon car and sped away towards the Effiduase direction, adding that the armed robbers did not attack him physically.
Hon. Adomako-Mensah said after the armed robbers had left the robbery scene, he (MP) and the driver drove to a police barrier ahead of them and reported the case to policemen on duty. He said no arrests have been made by the police.

you were lucky your life was spared. This is what your party created for the 8 years
They are from the school Koku Anyidoho and co are setting up to distabilize the country because they know Ghanaians hate them. That's a dress rehearsal for the ndc institution else how on earth can real armed robbers be nice like that. Go ask Yamin one of the teachers of the ndc institution and he knows who they were. If really Ghana is a serious country the security intelligence must watch carefully what's going on at the so called ndc school,what are thought there is it ,radicalism and terrorism, skilled and certified armed robbery or what at all? Because ndc has no ideology to be learnt,they mention social democracy they don't even understand so there is a hidden agenda using social democracy to cover up. Thank God,so far as a news paper from Norway could reveal the AMERI deal so as other international communities will be interested keenly to know what is being taught at that ndc school.
That's why the leadership in ghana should work to create more jobs for everybody to get their share of the national cake and stop create, loot and share because the resources of the state belong to all the citizens and not the few on the top. One person can sign a contract and robbed the state of billions of cedis which can even pay all the nurses on the street. Why are we so greedy and don't think about armed robbers we are creating. If they are hungry, they won't let you have peace so lets stop stealing the state money.
We thank God they did not kill you. God will provide for the lost items. Amen.
They kill one and nothing is done emmidiately now they know they can fire up and do more. This is the time for our legislatures to sit up.
you reap whatever you sow all you know is your stomach and nobody else.when it is you, you are crying, when it's ordinary Ghanaian normal. fire burn you
