Two Pastors of the Bantama Seventh Day Adventist(SDA) church in the

Ashanti Region were attacked by armed robbers last Tuesday.

The pastors, Felix Nimako Boansi and Moses Abankwa Ntiamoah who are

the District and Associate Pastors of the SDA Church respectively,

were heading towards Traboum to grace the 2014 Annual Youth Camp of

the Bantama District of the SDA when they suffered the attack.

It was reported that at around 7.25pm last Tuesday, road users who

found themselves on the Kumasi-Twedie road were subjected to the

attack.

While Pastor Nimako Boansi and his two sons were ordered to surrender

their belongings at gun point, Pastor Abankwa Ntiamoah for the fear of

losing his life had to leave personal belongings behind and run from

his vehicle to take cover in the bush.

The pastors who narrated their ordeal to the Daily Graphic said it was

a "do or die affair" that fateful Tuesday night

The Asokwa Divisional Police Command is investigating the incident
