Narrating the incident to the Daily Graphic, the MP said he was in the company of his driver while on their way from Kumasi heading towards Kumawu in the evening.
On reaching Akotosu near Wonoo in the Sekyere Kumawu District around 6.40 p.m., he said an unregistered vehicle crossed his vehicle with registration number BA 830-15 and three unknown men came out and ordered them to surrender their belongings at gunpoint.
He said he had no other option than to surrender his bag which contained an iPad, an iPod, four different cheque books, his MP’s ID card, keys to his house in Accra and his office at the Parliament House.
According to him, the bag also contained an amount of GH¢5,000, a stamp pad and some confidential documents.
He stated that the suspects drove away immediately after taking the items from him.
The MP has since reported the matter to the police at Kumawu and the Ashanti Regional Office of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for investigations.
However, no arrest had been made at the time of filing this report.
The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police Mr Ken Yeboah, in an interview confirmed the incident and said the police were investigating it.
