A 40-year-old man has been electrocuted inside a power box cable at Tema Community four along Rana Motors Principal Street.
It is alleged, the deceased met his untimely death after he attempted to steal some electric cables that supplies electricity to the area.
Recounting how the body was discovered, a resident, Madawa said he was on his way to the washroom when he saw the deceased in the box.
Although residents could not identify him, other residents in the area suspected that he is one of the junkies who go round causing problems and stealing state properties in the neighbourhood.
In an interview with Adom News’ Issabella Gidiglo Ave, the Assemblyman for the area, Baba Tunde Lasisi accused the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) of not properly maintaining the power box cable.
According to him, if ECG were really responsible of the facility no one would have even attempted to steal power cables in the first place.
"We need to be responsible as citizens.Whoever has been tasked to take care of government property should always make sure that they do their jobs well," he said.
Meanwhile, with the help of eyewitnesses, the body of the deceased has been conveyed to the Tema General Hospital.
