Ghana's top energy official has launched a comprehensive probe into the mysterious disappearance of more than 1,300 containers from the Electricity Company of Ghana at Tema Port. Energy Minister John Jinapor escalated the investigation by requesting the Attorney General to spearhead a legal examination of the potential systemic corruption.
Governmental authorities have mobilized multiple investigative agencies to unravel the container vanishing act. The National Intelligence Bureau received direct orders to track container locations, while National Security Secretariat operatives have already arrested fourteen suspects, including twelve Chinese nationals and one Ghanaian.
Jinapor confirmed direct communication with national security leadership to secure the remaining containers and prevent further potential losses. His aggressive approach signals the government's commitment to exposing and prosecuting those responsible for the extensive equipment theft at the strategic maritime facility.
Investigative teams have identified aluminum smelting companies near Shai Hills as potential destinations for the stolen cables. Chief Superintendent Osman Alhassan from the National Security Council Secretariat revealed ongoing efforts to trace how the purloined materials might have been transformed into exportable aluminum rods.
The comprehensive investigation represents a significant governmental response to what appears to be a sophisticated logistical theft operation. National security and legal mechanisms are working in concert to uncover the full scope of the container disappearance and hold responsible parties accountable through judicial processes.
