From sources, the deceased is said to have tampered with the live cables at the main ECG station at Ridge.
The Ridge station supplies power to major areas including the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Sources from Electricity Company of Ghana indicate that two guys went to Station A Friday dawn to steal bus bar isolators and the first to enter was electrocuted but the other escaped. It was known that there was power outage as the time they went there. Little did they know power was been restored.
Unfortunately for the thief, the intention to cut and bolt away with the incomer cables was not successful. According to ECG, he was electrocuted while trying to cut the incomer per the observations made when he was found.
After the electrocution, he was left with several burns on most parts of his body with the surge of power through his body giving him no chance of survival when he was conveyed to the hospital.
Although power outages occurred in areas such as Ridge, Ahodwo Roundabout, Nhyiaeso, Abinkyi market and its enclave due to the tampering of the incomer cables, ECG managed to restore power to homes and work places.
Serves him right
