A private legal practitioner with LARTEY, BADOMBIA & CO. ASSOCIATES, located opposite Roxy Cinema at Adabraka, Richard Badombia has been shot dead by armed men in a bush at the offside of the road between Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri communities on the Bole-Bamboi highway in the Savannah Region.
According to the police report, the deceased together with 3 others, Michael Badombia, Gloria Badombia, Hilarious Badombia, and a “Bull-Dog” were traveling from Accra to Jirapa in a Hyundai Accent saloon car with registration number GN 9890-17 which the deceased was the driver.
However on reaching a section of the road between Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri communities, on the Bole-Bamboi highway, three armed men emerged from the bush and signaled them to stop and while slowing down, one of the armed men ask "are they, Policemen ?" and, immediately shot at Richard Badombia.
The vehicle then veered off the main road into the offside of the bush, hit a tree, and came to a halt. The armed men followed and tried to open the doors of the vehicle to have entry into the same but the bulldog barked at them and they bolted.
Subsequently, an official report was made by Michael Badombia, Gloria Badombia, and Hilarious Badombia at the Banda Nkwanta Police Post at exactly 15:35 hours on May 28, 2022.
Upon receipt of this report, the Police patrol team rushed to the scene with Michael Badombia at a section of the road between Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri communities near the "Part-8" junction.
Police combed the area but did not find the suspected armed men. Police, however, saw a Hyundai Accent saloon car with registration number GN 9890-17, in a bush at the offside of the road between Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri communities on the Bole-Bamboi highway with deceased Richard Badombia behind the steering wheel with pellet wounds spread over his left cheek.
The body was removed and has been deposited at the Wenchi Methodist Hospital for preservation awaiting autopsy.
The police are therefore calling on informants and community members of Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri to assist with relevant information that could lead to the identity and arrest of the suspects.
Efforts are meanwhile underway to tow the vehicle to the Banda Nkwanta Police Post for safekeeping.
