The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has issued a statement responding to allegations by a customer claiming that a fire at his residence in Koforidua was caused by the actions of ECG staff.
In the statement released on Monday, January 27, 2025, ECG categorically denied the accusations, asserting that no evidence supports the claim that their staff were responsible for the incident.
According to the statement, the fire occurred in a semi-detached building in Two Streams, a suburb of Koforidua, after ECG personnel disconnected the electricity supply due to an alleged illegal connection.
ECG clarified that the disconnection was carried out under police protection and was not linked to the subsequent fire.
