According to the investigator in the case, Corporal Jonas Ofori of the Awaso Police, the suspect will be arraigned today, August 1, 2024.

The District Manager of ECG in the Sefwi Wiawso District, Ing. Albert Quansah, disclosed that electrical meters have unique numbers and geographical codes, which indicates their exact location and helps in monitoring.

“Therefore, stealing these meters rather compounds the company’s efforts towards improving revenue collection and reducing losses,” he pointed out.

He added that the district had received reports of meter theft in recent times and, therefore, set up a monitoring team to help avert the situation.

The Acting General Manager of ECG in the Western Region, Ing. Yaw Sarfo, cautioned the public that the company is clamping down on such unscrupulous activities and will apprehend persons who engage in meter theft.
