Armed robbers attack missionary

A gang of armed robbers at the weekend attacked the residence of the Reverend Keith Wayne Jaggers, an American Missionary working with the Glorious Assembly Church at Wa.

They attacked in the early hours of Friday, took 350,000 cedis and 100 dollars and drove away his white air-conditioned Land Rover cross-country vehicle with registration Number AS 4965 D that was parked in the garage before Police arrived at the scene.

Briefing newsmen at Wa on Monday, Inspector Daniel Dorkpoh, Upper West Regional Police Public Relations Officer, said the gang first disconnected telephone lines and scaled the fence into the house.

He said the night watchman, who sustained serious injuries in his right palm and cheek, struggled with them but was over-powered and his single barrel gun seized from him.

The watchman was treated and discharged on at the Wa government hospital. The Missionary and his wife were not hurt. The Police have appealed to the public to assist in their search for the robbers.
