When he stopped at Mantey Farms, he demanded Dzifa's belongings, including her handbag. When she resisted, Mensah pulled out a cutlass, dragged her from the vehicle, and repeatedly struck her. He slashed her left wrist and little finger before taking her bag, which contained valuable items such as iPhones and cash. Dzifa managed to flee to safety, pursued by Mensah and an accomplice with a cutlass. She was rescued the next morning by the police.

Efforts continue to identify and arrest the accomplice involved in the robbery.",
