Armed robbers have allegedly attacked two Members of Parliament (MPs) and a high court judge in separate robbery incidents at their residences in Accra.

They are the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for Amasaman, Mr Emmanuel Nii Okai Laryea; the NDC MP for North Dayi, Mr George Loh, and the High Court Judge, Mr Richard Adjei Frimpong.
According to the Police, the three incidents happened at dawn last Saturday at different locations in the national capital.

Narrating the incident, Mr Loh said he was attacked at his residence at Adjiringanor, near Madina, while he was asleep.

He said the robbers who managed to escape made away with his laptop and GH¢4,000 meant for the payment of wages of workers on his construction site.

He said he escaped unhurt.

For  Mr Laryea, the Accra Regional Police Command Public Relations Officer (PRO), Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mrs Afia Tenge, told Graphic.com.gh that a burglar proof in one of the windows in the house had been cut and it was suspected that the thieves might have entered the room through the window.

The thieves took away a 32-inch Samsung TV and two wristwatches.

The High court judge, Mr Frimpong, was also allegedly attacked by robbers at his residence at Abokobi, near Accra, where they made away with an unspecified amount  and some other valuables.

Meanwhile, police have began investigations into the three incidents. No arrests have been made so far.
