The deceased’s remains have been transferred to the Police Hospital for preservation and further examination through an autopsy procedure.
In response to this tragic incident, Mr. Emmanuel Akinie, the Accra West Regional General Manager of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), expressed concern during a news briefing, urging the public to refrain from tampering with electricity installations without proper authorization.
Mr. Akinie emphasized, “In recent times, we have witnessed incidents of theft and vandalism targeting our equipment. Apart from the considerable financial burden incurred by the company to replace stolen or damaged equipment, such actions also pose significant hazards to properties and the lives of these perpetrators.”
He implored everyone to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activity surrounding ECG’s installations to the nearest ECG office or to law enforcement agencies.
