A popular gold dealer in Bole, Aikaida, has been killed by suspected armed robbers.
The incident occurred at Gbenfu, a suburb of Bole, Thursday.
The development has thrown the Bole community in a state of shock.
An officer with the Bole Police command told Starr News on condition of anonymity that Aikaida was shot while returning from the river side after intervening in a scuffle between some suspected Ivorian rebels and illegal miners, over an ounce of gold.
Starr News’ Musah Lansa reports that the robbers were later given a hot chase by a well-known vigilante group in the area but could not arrest them.
