A British man has died after being shot during a robbery in Ghana on Friday, police say.

Ashraf Qarmar Parvez, 68, was shot after he tried to stop an attempt to steal his phone at a drinking spot in Tema, a city to the east of the Ghanaian capital, Accra. He later died in hospital, police said.

Authorities in Ghana are searching for the shooter – one of a group of six suspects who they say were at the scene and fled on motorbikes.

The BBC has contacted the UK Foreign Office for comment.
