Armed thieves ambushed and robbed Ghana's Wheelchair Tennis team as they returned home from a competition in Nigeria.
The heist took place on Tuesday morning at Ogun Stage in Nigeria, during which the criminals damaged the vehicle's glass and stole expensive items from the team.
Three team members were hurt and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
No. 1 seed Daniel Laryer was on the squad, as were Razak Baba Abdul, Bernard Yawson, Bridget Nartey, Issah Zenabu, Stacy Mensah Konadu, and coach Philip Plange.
The squad has just returned to Ghana after competing in the 2023 ITF World Team Cup Africa Qualifiers in Abuja, Nigeria, from the 8th to the 12th of February.
