The victim, Kate Aidoo was attacked on March 25, 2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Director of Korle-Bu’ Teaching Hospital’s Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre, Dr Opoku Ware Ampomah, says doctors are working to correct the eyesight of a mobile money merchant who suffered an acid attack.<\/p>\n
The young lady was attacked by suspected robbers at Gomoah Fetteh in the Central Region.<\/p>\n
Dr Ampomah told Joy News that the victim, Kate Aidoo, is suffering from blurry visions as a result of the acid, hence a major concern for doctors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe eye doctors are doing their best. We are also looking forward to taking her to the theatre to provide skin graft to her chest.<\/p>\n
“The wounds on her chest are quite deep and wouldn\u2019t heal if we leave them alone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained as the victim transitions from living with her normal appearance to being scarred for life, it is going to be a traumatic journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo amount of surgery will ever restore you to your original state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The victim, Kate Aidoo was attacked on March 25 around 10:30 pm.<\/p>\n
She suffered severe injuries and was rushed to the Hope Christian Hospital at Gomoah Fetteh for emergency treatment and later moved to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n
The suspects, Yaw Danso and Amoo Daniel, who made away with Miss Aidoo\u2019s money were later arrested by the Gomoah Ojobi Police.<\/p>\n
Two arrested for robbing mobile money vendor, pouring acid on her.<\/p>\n
Members of the Mobile Money Advocacy Group has made a cash donation towards the upkeep of the Ms Aidoo.<\/p>\n
Dr Ampomah expressed worry about how readily acid is available on the open market.<\/p>\n
He stated, \u201cif you have GHS5 [$1] you can easily get acid to buy in the market. Some of these chemicals are sometimes diffused.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Ampomah explained people\u2019s access to such chemicals should be limited by making sure they (the chemicals) are not just allowed to be handled by anybody.<\/p>\n
Many mobile money merchants have suffered attacks at the hands of robbers with some of them losing their lives altogether.<\/p>\n
Members of the Mobile Money Advocacy Group told Joy News that they have advised their members not to fight back when they are attacked, especially by armed robbers.<\/p>\n
General Secretary, Michael Asante, said members put their lives at risk when they take on the robbers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
