A Qnet agent has been allegedly shot to death at Kwasi Larbi, a community in the Suhum municipality of the Eastern Region.
The incident, according to residents and the Kwasi Larbi Electoral Area Assembly man, occurred Saturday evening.
According to the Assemblyman, Abanga Kwesi Larbi, the Qnet agents, numbering four, were spotted by businessman Otoo Acquah around his unwalled house.
They were reportedly searching of ripe pears on a pear tree in the house.
Unsure of their identity, he allegedly fired a gun shot hitting one of them who was ordered by the businessman to climb down from the pear tree.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the man allegedly shot the Qnet agent because he suspected that entered his house unlawfully to steal his iron rods.
The other Qnet agents fled the scene out of fear to report to their leaders.
Several of the Qnet agents lurk around some communities in the Eastern Region to feed themselves after failed business promises from their leaders.
The body of the agent shot has been deposited at the Suhum Government Hospital.
The businessman who shot the Qnet agent is in police custody under investigations.
