Thieves on board a motorbike fired at two men on a
commercial motorcycle early Monday December 2 in Bonanjo-Douala Littoral
region, killing a businessman and escaping with a bag containing an undisclosed
sum of money.
The
Guardian Post gathered that the two men left a commercial bank (name withheld)
after a transaction. After about a fifty metres walk, the men are said to have
boarded a commercial bike. Within minutes, the hoodlums on board another
motorcycle surfaced from the unknown to loot through the use of guns.
They
opened fire on the rider and the man who carried the bag of money. The thieves
later escaped with the bag containing an undisclosed sum of money.
Witnesses
said the thugs fired further into the air, creating panic within the area.
Onlookers were frightened. The rider of the attacked motorbike was injured on
the shoulder. The man who was carrying the money, later in the day, died at a
health facility.
The man
whose identity’ remains out of public knowledge was shot on the chest. He first
dropped unconscious on the road before passersby rushed him for medical
observation.
Security forces stormed the scene of the attack, questioning
witnesses to get preliminary information. Investigations have been opened into
the incident.
On
November 5, armed men attacked a man in the New Bell vicinity of Douala II
municipality, carting away two bags containing an undisclosed amount of money
from his car.
In
similar manner, the thieves then fired into the air severally before escaping
with the loot. Bullet canisters were spotted around the area of the November
incident.
The man
had stepped out of his car to identify a fault on it when the thieves held him
at gunpoint.
Locals
recalled that one of the gunmen fired at the tyres of the car. Two others
accessed the car and carried the bags containing money.
Just
the recent incident, the victim of the November attack too had just emerged
from a commercial bank before being attacked.
