A shocking incident of daylight robbery has resulted in the tragic death of a 27-year-old Mobile Money (MoMo) vendor, Patricia Nimako, in Krofrom, Kumasi.
The incident occurred on Thursday, February 13, 2025, in the afternoon. According to reports, two unmasked gun-wielding men on a motorbike approached Patricia’s shop around 3 p.m., shortly after she returned from the bank.
