According to a press release issued on July 31, 2026, the first incident occurred at about 23:00 hours GMT on the Accra-Kumasi Highway, between Apedwa Junction via Nkronso, Akooko and Akyem Asafo.
Armed robbers used a vehicle to block the highway and engaged in banditry, with three VIP JEOUN coaches caught up in the blockade.

In a second incident at around 01:00 hours GMT, armed robbers attacked another VIP JEOUN coach at Potrikrom on the Kumasi to Sunyani Highway.
The robbers shot at and damaged the coach’s windshield. However, an armed escort on board repelled the attackers. No passenger was injured in that attack. A police patrol team also arrived at the scene.
