The Mobile Money Advocacy Group Ghana (MoMAG) has raised serious concerns over the increasing attacks on mobile money agents, with the latest incident occurring in Bolgatanga.

Armed robbers stormed a mobile money outlet, making away with an undisclosed sum of money.

This attack follows the tragic deaths of two mobile money agents in separate incidents at Krofrom and Manso-Asamang in the Ashanti Region.

Speaking to Citi News, MoMAG President Edward Ofori Agyemang urged security agencies to step up efforts to protect agents.

“It is quite worrying upon the education that the association is giving out there to mobile money agents. When you look at what happened in Bolgatanga, the security there is not effective at all because they don’t have any burglar proof around them because it will be easy for robbers to rob them without burglar proof.

“It is very worrying. And we are also pleading to the security agencies for their presence. Their visibility should be more.”

He emphasized the need for improved security measures to prevent further attacks on mobile money agents across the country.
