40 of the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers have been found in a warehouse owned by an Indian national in Kpone, close to Tema, according to Minister for Energy and Green Transition John Abdulai Jinapor.
He revealed this information in an interview with TV3 on Wednesday, March 26, while praising the work of law enforcement and national security organizations to locate the missing containers.
“The important issue is the whereabouts of these containers. The briefing I received this morning indicates that about 40 of them have already been traced to a warehouse in Kpone, which belongs to an Indian national. All 40 containers have been confiscated and moved to a secure location,” the Minister said.
The Minister stated that the warehouse owner asserted that he purchased the containers from the company last year. He emphasized, nevertheless, that the situation is being investigated and that the police will make sure that justice is done.
“This is now a subject of investigation, and the law enforcement agencies will make sure the law takes its course,” Mr Jinapor stated.
Mr. Jinapor added that intelligence sources indicate further containers may be missing in other areas. Security agencies are diligently following up on leads to recover all of the missing containers and prosecute those involved, he reassured the public.
