National Security operatives have arrested 12 Chinese nationals and a Ghanaian over the missing ECG containers at Tema Port. The suspects, linked to two aluminum smelting companies in Shai Hills, were caught on Thursday following intelligence gathered by the authorities.
Investigations revealed that cables believed to be part of the missing consignment were being melted into aluminum bars for export at an aluminum smelter owned by the Chinese. The smelter is located opposite the Shai Hills Game Reserve.
The National Security is currently on a manhunt for another Chinese suspect who is on the run, bringing the total number of suspects to 14. The arrests mark a significant step in unraveling the mystery of the missing ECG containers and bringing those responsible to justice.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) had reported missing containers from the Tema Port, sparking an investigation into the disappearance of the containers.
