British citizen shot dead during robbery in Ghana
A British citizen, aged 68, was shot dead during a robbery at a drinking spot in Tema, Ghana, on Friday, November 7 2025.
According to the publicly released statement from the Ghana Police Service’s Tema Regional Command, the victim was seated with others opposite the Community 9 Cemetery when six young men arrived on two motorbikes. Two of them approached the table and one of the assailants snatched the victim’s mobile phone. When the victim tried to retrieve the phone, one of the suspects fired a shot. The gang then fled on the motorbikes.
The victim was taken to Tema General Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Police retrieved a spent 9 mm shell casing from the scene, which is now undergoing forensic analysis.
Authorities have launched a full-scale manhunt for the suspects and are cooperating with the British Embassy in Accra to liaise with the deceased’s next of kin.
