The Mampong Midwifery School on Friday March 11 paid their final respect to the anatomy tutor who was shot by police officers last month.
The deceased, Francis Gbene, was shot together with his 28-year-old brother, Thaddeus Gbene, after they were mistaken for suspected armed robbers while riding back home on motorbike in February this year.
The two brothers on the fateful day heard screams for help by an unidentified person from one of the school’s bungalows, who was apparently being robbed on the dawn of Wednesday February 10, 2016.
Francis and his brother sped off on their motorbike in the direction of the distress call, only to arrive at the scene to realise there was no such incident.
As the two were heading back home, police officers, who had also heard the shouts for help and were rushing to the scene in a vehicle, spotted the two on their motorcycle and fired at them, believing they were robbers getting away after a heist.
The two died instantly from the gunshots.
The deceased tutor, who also doubled as an estate officer of the school, was described by his colleagues and superiors as a hardworking and trustworthy individual.
