Reports indicate that Kumawood actor Andrew Ntul Mensah popularly known as Scorpion has been shot by unidentified gunmen.
According to DailyMailGH, Scorpion was attacked in his rented apartment at Aburaso New Site near Kumasi at about 2:40 a.m on Thursday.
A distress call was made and officers from the Suntreso District Police Command rushed to the scene.
Scorpion was said to have been found in a pool of blood when the police arrived after the robbers had fled.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the perpetrators used a car jerk to expand portions of a burglar-proof and gained access to the main building and went straight to the victim’s door.
It was later gathered that the break-in caught the attention of another tenant who was attacked and robbed of his two phones.
According to the actor’s brother Emmanuel Ntul, Scorpion was shot in the right thigh by one of the gun-wielding men during a struggle.
“He was with his wife and children when the incident happened… So they forced the door open during a struggle and according to him, one of them was ordered to shoot at my brother”, said Ntul during a telephone interview from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital where his brother is receiving treatment.
“They used a sharp projectile to hit him at his left ribs”, he said, adding that popular actors had visited the emergency unit of the hospital to wish him well.
The Ghana Police Service is still investigating the matter while Scorpion receives treatment.
