A British man has died after being shot during a robbery in Ghana on Friday, police say.
Ashraf Qarmar Parvez, 68, was shot after he tried to stop an attempt to steal his phone at a drinking spot in Tema, a city to the east of the Ghanaian capital, Accra. He later died in hospital, police said.
Authorities in Ghana are searching for the shooter – one of a group of six suspects who they say were at the scene and fled on motorbikes.
The UK Foreign Office said it was supporting the family of a man who had died.
A 9mm spent bullet shell was recovered from the shooting site and police have interviewed witnesses as part of their investigation.
The incident has raised security concerns in the industrial city of Tema, but a local police spokesperson told the BBC that the shooting was a rare incident.
