He emphasized, that after few minutes, not more than five minutes, he received a phone call from his fiance, informing him about the death of his colleague teacher. Astonished as he can be, he could not come to the scenes from his hideout but directed the fiance to come with a car to pick him since he might be the next target to be shot by the gunman.
Mr Danquah said, they cannot identify the face of the armed person who shot Mr Solomon due to darkness at the junction and in the entire Okorase community.
