ECG has launched investigations into an alleged assault by the military at Ogome – MP reveals
Albert Tetteh Nyakotey, MP for the Yilo Krobo constituency has revealed that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has commenced a probe into claims by some residents of Ogome that they have been assaulted by some military officers.
Last Saturday, some residents of Ogome, a community in the Yilo Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region, accused the military detachment assisting the ECG of assaulting them for objecting to the ongoing Prepaid Meter Installation in the Krobo enclave.
The residents say the assault happened when they questioned why the exercise to install prepaid meters was ongoing by ECG despite a parliamentary directive to halt the process.
Mr Tetteh Nyakotey said he will engage the leadership of the Minority in the appropriate way to handle the issue.
”The issue has been reported to the police and investigations have begun. If the reports are anything to go by, we will take it up. This is unacceptable.”
