An act of vandalismat Tema along the Volta Smelter transmission site of the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) at about 1:3am on Monday saw the power generation systems losing some 180 megawatts of power.
The situation saw parts of Dansoman, Kasoa, Swan Lake, and other parts of Accra being plunged into darkness.
Officials of Gridco told Graphic Online that suspected thieves who vandalised the tower removed the bolts and nuts supporting it before using a hacksaw blade to cut the base of the tower, causing it to collapse on a second tower that is paired with it in a parallel line.
The Director of Systems Operations at Gridco told the Graphic Online that officials have isolated the power from the damaged lines so as to ensure distribution is not affected.

they preached dunsor and it never was so they decide to sabotage the whole system. how can you make a country with such persons in NDC as opposition. are we beginning to see ofosu Ampofo's plan in motion?
GRIDCO, PLEASE NEXT TIME MAKE SURE YOU SEND THESE THESE ***barred word*** TO THE MILITARY BARRACKS FOR DISCIPLINING NOT THE COURT AT ALL. ALSO CHECK THE KOKOMPE MARKETS IN ACCRA AND TEMA AS WELL AS KUMASI, I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND THE BOLTS AND NUTS THEN PICK ALL OF THEM THE BUYER AND SELLERS TO GONDAR BARRACKS AND GET THEM RELEASED AFTER ONE WEEK.
Samuel Ofosu Ampofo should be arrested now because it is one of his strategies to make the government unpopular. terrorists and nation wreckers
I would urge Authorities of Gridco to construct a small electric fence around it to shock and kill those ***barred word*** next time.
they do this, then go to the Radio Stations and blame the issue on 'DUMSO'
This is close to sabotaging the entire system right? May God punish be it ever so severely any person or group of persons behind this heinous and callous act of vandalism
