A man died at an ECG substation in Adoato after trying to steal an earthen cable. People found his body early Saturday morning with a pair of pliers and a cable nearby. He appeared to be in his late thirties. Benjamin Obeng Antwi from ECG told Ghana News Agency that police took the body to a mortuary. The incident caused power outages across Greater Kumasi.
Mr Antwi shared concerns about more recent cases of ECG equipment theft. Criminals target transformers, cables, and protective gear needed for a steady power supply. They often strike at Adoato Substation and Adum Central Business Centre. ECG management warns everyone against these illegal activities, which cause deaths, power problems, and money losses for Ghana. They ask people to report any suspicious behavior to police stations.
The public can report through the ECG PowerApp, social media accounts, phone number 0302611611, or visit any ECG office. These community reports help protect important electrical infrastructure. Quick reporting might prevent future accidents and keep power flowing to homes and businesses.
