UGBS student dead after armed robbery attack
A graduate student of the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) is reported dead after a robbery accident on Tuesday night.
Information gathered indicates that he was returning from class around 9 p.m. when he was attacked by robbers who were operating on the UPSA-UGBS stretch of the Legon-Madina road.
It is reported that he bravely resisted the attackers, who, in the scuffle, pushed him into the path of a speeding vehicle that was said to have run him over, killing him instantly.
Students have been cautioned to be extra careful on that stretch, especially late at night.
News of his demise has sparked concerns among students who have lamented the poor security on the stretch.
The University of Ghana was trending at number three on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, November 23, as students narrated their encounters on that stretch.
They have taken to social media to bring to the attention of authorities the lack of street lights, traffic lights and security personnel in the area.
