A night security man of a popular restaurant and bar at Asenua near Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region, has been robbed of his pump action gun by some unknown robbers, who are currently at large.
Kwame Boakye, the security man of Sarafina Restaurant and Bar at Asenua, was reportedly robbed by three runaway hoodlums, around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 21, 2026, when the place was very quiet.
The police said one of the robbers, who was in charge of the black jungle motorbike, strategically engaged Boakye in a talk to distract him. In the course of the conversation, the two other suspects snatched the gun from Boakye from behind.
From all indications, the hoodlums, perhaps, needed the sophisticated weapon to engage in a robbery operation, as they surprisingly did not harm Boakye.
Mamponteng District Police sitrep, confirming the case, said, “On 21/02/26, at about 0500hrs, Kwame Boakye of Asenua, accompanied by Leonard Avonsige, both the watchman and owner of Sarafina Restaurant and Bar at Asenua, respectively, called at the station.
“The former, who is the night security man, informed the Police that on 21/2/2026, around 0030hrs, there was a general lights out and he was patrolling his base when he spotted someone on a black jungle motorcycle, parked behind a trailer truck beside the restaurant.
“That he approached the person who told him he was waiting for someone at that time. That all of a sudden, two others, one with a cutlass, emerged from behind and snatched an unloaded Tulger pump action gun he was holding, and they sped off on the motorbike.”
According to the police, Boakye, who was alone, shouted for help after the robbers managed to snatch the weapon from him, but nobody came out at that ungodly hour to assist him.
The robbery case was reported to the Mamponteng District Police, who quickly dispatched police officers to search the robbery scene to help find any clues, and also to officially commence investigations into the case.
“The police patrol team visited the scene and combed the scene, but the perpetrators could not be traced. There was no CCTV camera around to help identify the perpetrators. However, investigation has been initiated,” the police said.
