In the meantime, the company has closed down temporarily, whiles arrangements are being made to airlift the body of the deceased to his home country, Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>While many Ghanaians have noted this incident as the latest in a growing list of armed robbery attacks in various parts of the country, others wondered why the company had decided to withdraw such a huge sum of money instead of paying their employees through the bank.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Workers understand\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As a result of Tuesday\u2019s attack, workers of the company might have to wait a little longer for their salaries.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mr. Laryea believes that the staff understand the \u201cdifficult situation\u201d the company is in at the moment and aren\u2019t demanding to be paid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a very difficult situation but as we all know Ghanaians are very considerate when it comes to sharing our brother\u2019s pain. They understand that if this situation hadn\u2019t happened, they would have been sorted out by now. The workers understand that we are in a difficult time so they are taking it easy. Hopefully, in due course, all these things will be sorted out. They know that there isn\u2019t a single period where their money had been held for days before being paid. They are joining the company in these hard times to see what happens in the future,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p><b>Back on Monday<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Laryea added that the workers of the company, who were a little shaken after the incident, had been given a few days off to recover.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, expressed his hope that work would resume on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday, we only operated until the incident, after which we shut everything and went home. Some of us followed to the hospital and went to the police station for an official complaint to be made and the police came back to do further investigations. Today we\u2019ve closed and tomorrow as well, we aren\u2019t working. God willing, we\u2019ll come back on Monday to continue our activities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/95507453.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Police have since stated that they are on a manhunt for the suspects involved. This incident adds to the growing number of robbery incidents in recent times.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, there were two robbery attacks in the North Kaneshie area which left some persons injured.<\/p>\n<p>There have also been a number of robbery attacks in some parts of Accra and Koforidua in recent days.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018We\u2019re ready to die\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Despite these constant attacks the Director of Operations for the Ghana Police Service, COP George Akufo Dampare has said although his outfit is logistically deficient, they are ready to put their lives on the line to ensure the safety of every Ghanaian.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Dampare also noted that the support of the citizens will go a long way to help the Police Service combat the increasing rate of crime in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to give them [citizens] the assurance that we will go every length, including losing our lives to make them safe. We understand that we are not there yet, in terms of the full complement of our equipment. We also understand that over the years, government after government has made an attempt to bring us to a particular level in terms of equipment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: 3 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 1 March 2018 Source: citifmonline.com 2018-03-01 The Lebanese businessman was robbed and killed at Tema on Wednesday Managers of Delta Agro Limited in Tema say they have \u201clearnt their lessons\u201d after their cashier, Ahmed Safiadeen, was shot and killed by robbers on Wednesday after he had withdrawn money from the bank.
