On Sunday around 07:00 hrs, two armed men on a CG motorcycle entered the Kaieteur News outlet and demanded cash from a worker who was behind the counter tending to customers. One of the men placed a gun to his mouth saying “give me the money and you will live” and he complied. Upon exiting the building the gunman also robbed Accra after which he shot him once. They then made good their escape with an undisclosed sum of money by proceeding east along Robb Street on the motorcycle.
