General Constable Emmanuel Nii Atseku, who was on night duty, was shot by some unidentified armed robbers who attempted to rob the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) filling station at dawn Tuesday.
According to information gathered by the Daily Graphic, the policeman was on guard at the filling station when the robbers overpowered him by first hitting him with a cement block and later shot him.
Unsuccessful operation
The robbers, though unsuccessful in their operations, escaped with the policeman’s weapon.
It is unclear whether Constable Atseku was at the station alone.
Meanwhile, the police are yet to confirm the incident.
His body has since been transferred to the Police Hospital in Accra.
