EPA Boss shot dead in Tema

The Head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Tema, Ebenezer Fiagbe has been shot dead by suspected robbers.

The 48-year-old man was murdered at his residence in Tema.

Narrating the incident to Citi News, the Public Relations Officer of the Tema Police Command, ASP Juliana Obeng said in the early hours of Monday, some three suspected robbers entered the residence of the deceased carrying AK 47 riffles, then later attacked and shot him.

“Between the hours of 2.30 and 3 am, the Police patrol team had information there was robbery going on in the area. Three men armed with AK 47 riffles broke into the house in the early hours of the day and shot him. “

She revealed that the team “quickly rushed to the scene  but unfortunately at the time they got there robbers had left.”

“They rather found the body of a man who later investigations revealed was the body of one Ebenezer Fiagbe aged 48 years who I’m told was the head of the Environmental Protection Agency here in Tema,” she added.

The body of the deaceased has since been deposited at the mortuary.

ASP Justin further stated that investigation into the incident is currently ongoing .

Mr. Fiagbe left behind a wife and two children.
