  "account": "A deadly armed robbery incident unfolded at Fiapre in Sunyani West Municipality of the Bono Region, claiming the lives of two mobile money vendors and leaving two others injured. The tragic event transpired on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at around 0700 hours. Suspected robbers, believed to be three in number, wielding AK-47 rifles, targeted the vendors, firing their weapons to instill fear in passersby. Regrettably, one resident, Ibrahim, was struck by a stray bullet while attempting to observe the ongoing events. After the attack, the deceased was identified as Fulani, and the remaining robbers managed to flee with their loot of GH¢40,000. Public Relations Officer of the Bono Regional Police Administration, Inspector Thomas Akeelah, confirmed the incident and informed that the police have since visited the location. The Sunyani West Municipal Chief Executive, Mr. Kwasi Asante Boateng, paid his condolences to Ibrahim’s family and visited the injured vendors at the Sunyani Teaching Hospital, encouraging them to recuperate swiftly. He assured that the municipal security committee is working alongside security agencies to enhance safety in the region, urging residents to maintain composure.",
