He said two robbers were shot and  killed, with some escaping and others being arrested in that incident.<br \/>\nAccording  to him, police investigations also linked the suspects to some  robberies on the Kumasi-Techiman highway and the recent Kumasi-Kumawu  road network in which the police cameraman was gunned down in his BMW  car.<br \/>\nForty-five year-old Sergeant Reuben Akakpo was killed when  he ran his vehicle into a roadblock mounted by the robbers around 4am on  the Effiduase-Kumasi road. The police officer\u2019s BMW saloon car, on  which he was travelling from Kumasi to Kumawu, suddenly stopped after it  hit the block.<br \/>\nHis killers, three of whom were wearing masks,  ordered him to get down from his vehicle but before he could do so, the  hoodlums fired two shots into his rib.<br \/>\nHe bled profusely, leading to his death.
