National Security Retrieves 83 ECG Cable Drums in Kumasi

The mystery surrounding the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) cables appears far from resolved, as 83 drums of cables believed to belong to the state-owned power distributor have been retrieved from a warehouse at Asokore Mampong.

The discovery, The Chronicle has gathered, followed a tip-off that led operatives of the Ashanti Regional National Security Secretariat to the private storage facility.

The seized cables are currently being kept under heavy guard at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC). The area has since been sealed off by National Security.

According to official markings and documents sighted by this paper, the cables were manufactured by Zhejiang Kukun Group Co. Ltd. and Kukun Electricals Industry Ltd. The product label reads: Service Cable 2×25 sq mm, Aluminium Standard Conductor, and the consignment was reportedly registered in the name of one Ama Gambrah.

Preliminary investigations by the Secretariat led to the questioning of Madam Gambrah, who was said to be overseeing the items. During interrogation, she claimed the cables belonged to her son, Kwaku Yeboah, a car dealer.

As part of ongoing investigations, National Security has since invited Mr. Yeboah for questioning to assist in clarifying ownership and how the cables ended up in the private warehouse.

The exact circumstances under which the cables, believed to be ECG property, were stored at the facility remain unclear. Authorities are yet to confirm whether the items were misappropriated, diverted, or stolen.
