ECG contractor named as prime suspect in theft of 86 transformers
The Electricity Company of Ghana has named one of
its contractors, Gidi Klo, as the man who
masterminded the theft of 86 transformers at the
ECG’s Central Stores in Tema.

The revelation was made at a court hearing in
Accra, Saturday.

Emmanuel Owari Boateng, star witness for the
company and head of security at ECG told the court
during cross examination that Gidi Klo had given
the transformers to two of his accomplices who are
also ECG officials to sell.

Joy News' Kwetey Nartey who was in court reported
that the company could not find the trail of
documentation covering the transportation of the
86 transformers

As a convention, the movements of all transformers
are documented for future reference but nothing of
that sort was done to the 86 transformers.

After investigation it emerged the transformers
had been stolen.

Owari Boateng told the court that the company
picked up information that two of its staff, a
driver by name Eric Darko and an engineer they
only named as Perfect, were selling the
transformers and were looking for buyers.

The company then feigned interest by forming a
team to buy the transformers.

The witness who was part of the 'mystery' buyers
said they met with the two suspects and agreed to
buy the transformers.

Instead of buying, they alerted the police who
then picked up the suspects.

Upon interrogation, the two suspects named Gidi
Klo as the prime suspect in the matter.

When police went to the Tema residence of Gidi
Klo, two of the transformers were seen, Nartey
reported the witness as saying.

The suspects are however tightlipped on the
whereabouts of the remaining transformers.

The case has been adjourned to May 9, 2015.
