Deputy Director in charge of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, has called for the immediate arrest of three key figures he holds responsible for the disappearance of over 1,300 containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) at Tema Port.

The missing containers, which contained vital electrical equipment meant for national power distribution, have sparked widespread concern.

Speaking on Citi FM on March 31, Mr Gbande specifically demanded the arrest of Alexander Afenyo-Markin, former Board Chairman of ECG; Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, former Minister of Energy; and Samuel Dubik Mahama, former Chief Executive Officer of ECG.

He argued that these individuals must be held accountable for their roles in the alleged scandal, which has raised serious questions about procurement irregularities and mismanagement within the power sector.
