Major Patrick Don-Chebe was shot at close range last week Wednesday at a mining site between Asamang Tamfoe and Ankaase, allegedly by one Danso, a community youth leader and miner.
He was rushed to the Kibi government hospital for treatment before being transferred to the 37 Military Hospital for surgery.
However, the main suspect who shot the commander is still on the run.
On Wednesday, October 18, 2023, the main suspect, Danso, and his accomplice, one Joe, also a miner, went to a mining site around Asamang Tamfoe where the task force acting on intelligence had gone to clamp down on illegal miners operating in the area ostensibly to prevent the suspects from being taken into custody.
The two allegedly arrived at the scene openly armed and approaching the task force, but members of the task force who overpowered and disarmed him were caught off guard when Danso drew a pistol concealed under his shirt and shot Patrick Don-Chebe in the ribcage at close range.
