The Central Regional Police Command has apprehended two suspects, Mohammed Sulemana and Iddrisu Basit, for their alleged involvement in the transportation of stolen electricity cables. The cables, valued at an undisclosed amount, are believed to be the property of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
The suspects, both driver’s mates of an articulated truck, were arrested on April 1, 2025, at Gomoa Awombrew in the Central Region. The truck, with registration number GC 7410-11, was found parked at Gomoa Awombrew, loaded with 28 rims of ECG cables.
Officials from ECG confirmed ownership of the cables but stated that no such consignment was expected in the area. The police are currently holding the truck under guard while efforts are underway to arrest the truck driver, Zibo Imoro, who is currently on the run. The investigation is ongoing.
