After reviewing a nearby CCTV camera during the Ablekuma
bullion van robbery attack in which robbers killed a police officer in cold blood,
the following questions need to be addressed:
1. Why did the driver leave his door open as he fled from
the van, leaving the police officer vulnerable to attack even from the driver's
side? There must be some queries for the driver from the investigators.
2. Is the bullion van protected from gunfire and armored? If
that were the case, the driver would have known that staying inside the car was
safer than attempting to flee while the door was still open.
3. Why was the passenger-side door not locked, making it so
simple for the thief to open?
4. Why wasn't the police officer donning a safety helmet and
bulletproof vest?
A few years ago, when a specific bank was looking to
purchase bullion vans, there was an incident during the bidding process. They
were offered bulletproof vests for the drivers, bank employees, and escorting
security guards in addition to bulletproof bullion vans.
Hard questions about why these incidents keep happening so
flagrantly need to be addressed by someone at the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana
Police Service, even after the BoG and the Police Service set deadlines for all
financial institutions to purchase appropriate bullion vans (not converted
pickups!).
In the line of duty, another police officer perishes.
Condescension alone is insufficient. Everyone agrees that the measures that
will provide the necessary security for everyone involved in the sector must be
put into place by the appropriate authorities. There can never be too many
unnecessary deaths!
The police officers inside the van were the target of the
robbers, who shot them twice, wounding them in the shoulder and abdomen.
Between the robbers and the on-duty police officers at the gas station, there
were about 15 gunshots fired.
Unfortunately, the robbers got away with the money they
stole. Everyone is baffled by the fact that the incident took place while all
the cameras were offline for maintenance, according to the report.
