ECG arrests 10 for illegal connection after disconnection

Ten Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) customers in the Ashanti Region have been detained for self-reconnecting after being disconnected.

During a nighttime exercise, the 10 were detained in Abuakwa, Makro, Manhyia, Tanoso, and other communities in the Abuakwa district.

The 10 were detained by the electricity distribution company as part of a special operation to boost revenue mobilization.

The 10, who were involved in unlawful connections in the area, were among 150 customers who were terminated for not paying their bills.

Some of the consumers who were detained paid their debts before being reconnected.

According to Ing Fred Kwabena Bediako, the ECG TaskForce Manager, the exercise is a part of attempts to cut losses and strengthen the business’s push to generate income.

To prevent customers from reconnecting themselves, he said a constant nationwide exercise of this kind would be conducted.

“We had assumed that after the previous incident, individuals would have ceased performing self-reconnections, but stepping outside today has shown that we need to step up this monitoring in order to prevent energy users from performing self-reconnections.”

We don’t enjoy carrying out such tasks since they are exhausting and expensive, but we are compelled by the situation to carry out this exercise, he continued.

A soldier belonging to the 3rd Battalion Infantry in Sunyani has been murdered in Tafia, a suburb of Ashaiman, in the Greater Accra region, on Friday, 3rd March 2023.

Imoro Sheriff, a 21-year-old boy was allegedly killed by a gang after he visited his girlfriend in the area.

Imoro, whose position could not be immediately verified, was attacked with knives and other weapons, immediately after leaving the girlfriend’s home.

It was said that Imoro usually visits his girlfriend anytime he goes to Ashaiman where he was born and raised.

When the Ghanaian Times visited the family home of Imoro, at Zongolika, a suburb of Ashaiman, on Monday, mourners were in a state of shock. The father of the deceased, Asanubu Imoro, confirmed the death of his son, saying he heard it via social media.

Asanubu Imoro said the son, who was based in Sunyani, Bono Region, informed him that he was attending a military programme in Accra and will visit family members on Friday.

“We were expecting him. When we called his number late into the night, there was no response. Somebody showed me a video and asked, do you know this man, that was when I identified my son.”

According to Asanubu Imoro, the military and other security agencies have been in close contact with the family as the investigation into the killing was ongoing.

When the Ghanaian Times contacted the Ashaiman Divisional Police Command concerning the incident, the authorities declined to speak on the matter, but indicated that 13 suspects had been arrested so far.
